This is weirdI couldn't find it in my search of the site; I was on a XP64 machine and tried to run the defrag command from the Cygwin shell and it could not locate the command. I could see the command via the cmd shell. Below I cd usng the cmd shell on 64bit XP and using ls it is not seen and dir it is seen: C:\WINDOWS\system32>ls |grep defrag C:\WINDOWS\system32>dir |grep defrag 02/16/2007 08:33 PM 35,840 defrag.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32>cacls defrag.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\defrag.exe BUILTIN\Administrators:F NT AUTHORITY\BATCH:R Everyone:R NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE:R NT AUTHORITY\SERVICE:R NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F I then copied the file in the cmd shell to c:\cygwin\ and then Cygwin can see it there: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/c/WINDOWS/system32> ls -al ./defrag ls: cannot access ./defrag: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/c/WINDOWS/system32> cd / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> ls -al ./defrag -rwx------+ 1 dobrin Domain Users 35840 Feb 16 2007 ./defrag I confirmed that this isn't an issue on XP32 or Vista And Ideas?
Yes. Call up a 32-bit cmd prompt and repeat the same tests. You'll see the same results. The 32-bit world cannot see the 64-bit world. In other words, this is not Cygwin specific. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
