Sorry, I did say: >>>>> - 'cygcheck /bin/ash.exe -v' returns 127 >>>>> - it doesn't happen if run from cmd.exe But I can be more exact: If I run 'cygcheck /bin/ash.exe -v' from inside cmd.exe, I only get one copy of the output. I didn't think to check this before, but %ERRORLEVEL% after running that is -1073741819 (I think that's the normal way to check return values in cmd.exe?). -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International [email protected] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
