Even though it's a windows service, it does have the cygwin environment. E.g. /cygdrive/c should still work. I've seen a similar problem with other cygwin programs running as services. E.g. the OpenSSH server, running as a windows service - you log in over SSH, but can't access network shares from that session. People have described workarounds for the OpenSSH problem, but none looked simple or worked in every situation. > I could add it to the registry for cygwin mount points, but I think a > fix to the code might be better. You might try that first, because it might not work, and then you'll know if there is any point trying to get "//" passed directly. -- Jamie -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
