Re: 64 bit applications
Thanks, Christopher Faylor ! Mingw64 is for compiling x64 Windows applications. As there no possibilities to run Linux_x86_64 applications under Windows, so far as I'll try to compile they for Windows x64 (though it should lead to loss in relative productivity approximately on a quarter because of worse Windows architecture). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

The vast majority of applications compile and run both on x86 and x86-64 Linux, and plenty of other architectures as well, for that matter. If anything, you're still more likely to find apps that work on x86 but not on x86-64, rather than the other way round. So chances are, your app will compile and run on Cygwin. > (though it should lead to > loss in relative productivity approximately on a quarter because of worse > Windows architecture). What? Do you mean because of the different APIs on Windows? Well, yes, that would require extra work, although quantifying that as a quarter a seems rather arbitrary.

General cuestions about package mantainership
Hello, I'm taking into consideration the possibility of taking over the mantainership of an orphaned package[1], but I'd need some clarifications regarding this task, in order to decide if I am capable enough to do it. Caution comes from the assumption of my limitations. To me it's clear that the notion of Community implies giving back to it, at least, within someone's own ability and knowledge. In my case, this limit is the lack of C programming background. Would such a mantainer be totally useless? To my understanding, a mantainer should be able to patch the sources if necessary, not only build/package/publish them and act as a proxy between bug reporters and developers. Despite the fact that I'm probably answering myself, I'd be glad to know your opinion. Regards.

Dear Andy Koppe ! The goal is to run application in 64bit mode, because in 32bit mode it lacks in relative productivity ~0,4. This I have personally established on CAE applications example (as well as loss on ~1/4 Windows x64 rather Linux_x86_64).

In your if test you check the number of parameters and check to see if there is exactly one then throw the message. It should be zero rather than one because it doesn't count the current process name. On that note I might suggest replacing 'elev' in the Usage text with $0 so it can reflect the file it was called as. On and while quoting works there are better ways as Eric had already suggested.

Re: Running a Matlab script remotely via ssh

Directly from the DOS command line this is possible: matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -minimize -r test_batch -logfile logfile No such luck when I try the same with a remote session. The thing just hangs there until I interrupt it with CTRL-C. Is there any way around this? Matlab is a Windows application and always opens a window when executed.

bash loop using mintty
I reported a couple of times of the bash loop problem before. But it seems the problem could bot be duplicated by others. I use "mintty -" to start up a terminal session. Today, I found out the problem. The loop is caused by set -o vi in my .bashrc. After I removed that statement, I can hit shift F12 without bash looping (reported by task manager). If I start mintty without -, shift F12 just gives 4;2~ back. Once I enter set -o vi, shift F12 hang and bash starts looping With this information, I hope mintty users can duplicate this problem and hopefully a fix could be available. Thanks.

That would be a bash/readline problem, not a mintty problem. Shift+F12 in mintty sends the same keycode that xterm sends: '\e[24;2~'. I suspect though that it is simply a case of vi mode interpreting that keycode in some vi-ish way. A vi expert will have to pronounce on that.

The issue I faced was over paths to the cyg<...>.dlls that it put in /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin, having configured it to install in /opt/gcc-4.5.0. Obviously the runtime for programs built with gcc-4.5.0 requires these over the counterparts installed in /usr/bin by the Cygwin versions with the same name. As I reported in a previous post, I get around this presently by adding a run target to my makefiles which prepends /opt/gcc-4.5.0 to the path before running. As I regularly switch between several versions, including the Cygwin-installed gcc-3 and gcc-4, using the `alternatives' system, I had wanted to avoid hard-setting the path only to face the same issues when switching away from 4.5, which I am really only using to get a head start on C++0x. The .dlls in question are: 21:10:29 Paul bibbi...@jijou ~ $ls -l /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin | grep dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... 437743 Apr 15 09:08 cyggcc_s-1.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... 271146 Apr 15 09:08 cyggomp-1.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... 55679 Apr 15 09:08 cygssp-0.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... 5829289 Apr 15 09:07 cygstdc++-6.dll Maybe I am missing something in having these in the first place.

Of course shell script attachments can easily be deleted.

I have number of machines running Windows2003 and Cygwin 1.7.5. On most cron
works. But on one (lemon) it does not. It appears that on lemon cron cannot
switch the user context.
Cronevents on lemon shows:
2010/04/15 17:19:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 656: (tschutter) CMD
(/usr/bin/python /cygdrive/f/production-sync/production-sync.py)
2010/04/15 17:19:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 656: (CRON) error (can't
switch user context)
/var/log/cron.log is empty on all machines.
let's configure syslogd from inetutils to have some logs :
syslogd-config --yes
I don't have a syslogd-config. Ok. So I installed inetutils. Now I have a
syslogd-config which I have just run. And I have started syslogd.
After setting up syslogd, I still see an empty /var/log/cron.log and
/var/log/messages.
did you restart cron ?
here is my log for an * * * * * date >> /tmp/date.log entry :
Apr 17 12:20:40 MV0213 /usr/sbin/cron: PID 2668: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)

Apr 17 12:21:01 MV0213 /usr/sbin/cron: PID 3064: (root) CMD (date >>
/tmp/date.log)
you may need to configure sshd before to have the right permissions
on /var/empty, etc. (ssh-host-config --yes --user "${CYGSERVER_USER}"
--pwd "${CYGSERVER_PASS}" where CYGSERVER_USER=cyg_server and
CYGSERVER_PASS=whatever you want)
I am not sure what sshd has to do with cron.
IFAIK, if you configure cron w/o configure ssh first, cron-diagnose will
break.
> In my case sshd cannot run as the cygserver user because it must be a
domain user.
under 2K3, I'm running sshd w/ a local cyg_server account + lsa + passwd
-R w/o problems whatever the passwordless account is local admin or not
or domain lambda user. not tried using a domain admin since I don't have
access to a domain admin account. however, a local admin is sufficient
to stop/start services, etc. so, a domain admin isn't required...
PS : well, I prefer the legacy one than the ng one...
PS2: IMHO, linux^Wcygwin cron(^W^Wlinux) sucks bcoz it doesn't report on
tasks return codes as a true unix does... (i.e.:< root 1331 c Tue Feb
2 17:32:36 MET 2010 rc=1)
The cron daemon is running as SYSTEM on all machines.
2K3 may need to be running under cyg_server ?
Why? I have not seen any doc stating that.
to configure cron, I use :
cron-config<< EOF
yes
no
no
no
${CYGSERVER_PASS}
${CYGSERVER_PASS}
no
EOF
PS : doesn't support csih yet :-(
Your yes and no responses do not match what cron-config asks me:
lemon:/$ cron-config
Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ]
You must decide under what account the cron daemon will run.
If you are the only user on this machine, the daemon can run as yourself.
This gives access to all network drives but only allows you as user.
To run multiple users, cron must change user context without knowing
the passwords. There are three methods to do that, as explained in
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1
If all the cron users have executed "passwd -R" (see man passwd),
which provides access to network drives, or if you are using the
cyglsa package, then cron should run under the local system account.
Otherwise you need to have or to create a privileged account.
This script will help you do so.
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) no
Were the passwords of all cron users saved with "passwd -R", or
are you using the cyglsa package ? (yes/no) yes
try to answer no, here, then, you will be asked for cyg_server
password... and may still use passwd -R :-)
The cron daemon will run as SYSTEM.
Running cron_diagnose ...
... no problem found.
Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron daemon is now running.
well, the last no is because I prefer to launch the service myself :-)
lemon:/$
It appears that cron-config decides to run cron under the SYSTEM account
because I indicated that I was using cyglsa.
cyglsa is running on all machines.
did you reboot after configuring cyglsa ?
cygserver is not running on any machine.
2K3 may need cygserver as well as passwd -D?
s/-D/-R/ sorry
If I do a "passwd -R", cron will work. But I don't want to do a "passwd -R".
I am forced to change my password every 60 days. Then I would have to go to every cygwin box and
change the password there as well.
don't know how to make things work w/o passwd -R, sorry.
however, an "ssh net user user passwd" is not so hard to do :-)
alternative, if using a local account is "net user user /expire:no"

That would obviously be a bug, but I don't see that. For me, both with ESC-; and Shift-F12 it's just sitting there waiting for more input, which to me looks like normal operation because I do know that the escape character at the start of both of those takes vi into command mode and I've got no idea what either ';' or '[24;2~' might mean in command mode.

Re: Running a Matlab script remotely via ssh
Thanks for the follow-ups. It turns out that I tried the same experiment on another Vista installation (32bit this time around) and it run Matab scripts via ssh without a hitch. Officially the command-line should look like this: matlab -nodesktop -r test_batch In practice the option "-nodesktop" was not necessary. Now, I am still not sure what the problem with the other system might be. Maybe Vista 64bit is complaining about something else, maybe some firewall issue, maybe a service configuration. I will only have physical access to this system on Monday for further testing. Of course, the real lesson here is that you shouldn't attempt this stuff on Windows, especially not on Vista.

What's strange is that if I hit ESC-F before the first time I hit ESC-; in a new shell session the problem is avoided. From what I read at http://linux.die.net/man/3/readline, the key binding for both F and ; in command mode should be vi-char-search, so I'm not sure what the difference is between the two bindings. I get the same behavior under a Windows terminal running bash as well. I repeated all the tests both with and without my .inputrc file, minimal as it is, and got the same results every time. On a whim I also tried this in irb, which is the only other program I frequently use which I know uses libreadline, but I could not reproduce the problem. If there is any other information I can provide, let me know what it is. My system is a fairly vanilla XP installation which I updated to the latest packages earlier today. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
