How to Start Multiple Windows Apps Using Cygwin

[Yu, Lei]

Hi there,
    I want to create a windows batch file, which can
1. initialize and start multiple Windows -- such as my gtalk and my MSN
2. keep the applications running
3. let the batch file itself exit without any trace.
    That is a bit difficult to achieve via normal windows batch file,
since batch does not provide a background running mode, so the whole
process will be blocked at the first application starts, and all the
subsequent application will not get called before the first exits.
    And then I turned to Cygwin.  Seems it could achieve task 1 and
task 2.  However, it could not achieve task 3, which means that the
cygwin window will be kept open, until both (all) of the applications
get closed.  So I wonder whether there is any possibility, to achieve
all the 3 tasks I want?  And if yes, how?

    Below is the batch file I've written, any comments are welcome.

Lei
-
rem @echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -c "/c/Program\ Files/Google/Google\ Talk/googletalk.exe
/startmenu &"
bash --login -c "/c/Program\ Files/Windows\ Live/Messenger/msnmsgr.exe &"
rem exit
pause

Sure it does: "start"

  Which can be invoked from a cygwin shell (should you still wish to do so) as
"cmd /c start" plus whatever commandline and args you wanted to launch.

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Here's another question to those who can reproduce the problem.

What I need is an strace from one netapp and and one nwfs filesystem
when trying to create a file with trailing dots and spaces:
for the following scenarios:

  $ strace -o lame_fs.trace touch 'foo.' 'foo '

This will help to create a workaround for those filesystems.

I only need straces for the *not* working cases.


Thanks,
Corinna

Setup.exe: resets /home symlink to directory when run

[Alex Leigh]

Hello everyone,

Apologizes if my question is addressed somewhere. I'm new to Cygwin
and I'm uncertain how to research this question further, so I would
like to turn to this list for help.

In my Cygwin installation I've deleted the /home directory and created
a symlink in its place that links to the Windows "Users" folder, so
that my homedir under Cygwin is the same as my Windows user folder
while retaining the nice and short "/home/[name]" path in Cygwin. This
has worked well except that each time I run setup.exe, at the end of
the update process the /home directory is restored and the symlink is
removed. It's not a big deal to recreate the symlink each time but I'm
wondering, is there a way to suppress this behavior of setup.exe?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sincerely,
Alex

Using cmd.exe as an emacs shell

[Gary .]

If this isn't enough for me to lose my non-kook status I don't know

Instead of / as well as using emacs' eshell, I occasionally need to do
stuff from a "DOS" command line. Is it possible to get cygwin's emacs

  It cropped up just recently on this very list!

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/threads.html#00126

  To summarize the outcome of the discussion: use a mountpoint rather than a
symlink.  The mountpoint will overlay (and override) the then-harmless
directory that setup recreates each time.  Plus it's a bit faster than a
symlink :)

I've been having the same problem.  And while I'm sure that would fix my

Thank you.   Oh well.  When trying to open the file to check for its
existance, the NT status code is STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND which is
equivalent to the POSIX errno ENOENT, "No such file or directory".

Only afterwards, when trying to create the file, the status code is
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID.  Too late for Cygwin.

That's tragic.

Using nano in mintty : missing cursor

[fer...@bonhard.uklinux.net]

Try editing a text document using nano in a mintty terminal.
Press  to replace text.
The typed search string at the bottom of the page lacks a visible cursor 
(though it is there, as evidenced by use of  and  and 
inserting text) which is a small inconvenience.
(Cf using nano in a bash terminal or a rxvt terminal: using  to 
replace text the cursor helpfully remains visible.)
Any chance of a revision - to mintty - to address this? Thank you.
Fergus

BTW mintty is great and possesses the useful feature that it does not 
hang on exit. As previously reported this problem (hang on exiting rxvt) 
is now completely chronic [for me]. I am finding it hard to understand 
why there are not 4000 other reports of the same problem in this mailing 
list; but as there are not, I deduce my setup (newly installed on a new 
machine less than a week ago to no avail) possesses some hideous 
freakish quirk in ~/.bashrc or ~/.inputrc or ... not shared elsewhere.

Hello,

You can try to change the settings in Options->Looks->Cursor to a
block cursor, for example,
and check if you can see it.
It works for me with a line cursor in minnty-0.6.2-1

Thanks for the report. I did this ImageMagick upload, though I'm not the

ls bug

[Road Warrior]

Hello Cygwin Folk -

I don't remember if I've posted this before, but this issue that looks bug-like 
to me has been bothering me for years now. I figured it must be fixed in the 
latest cygwin so I just updated everything today, but still no go. I looked in 
the FAQ and searched mailing lists, but I didn't see mention of this; point me 
to the right place if it's already been discussed.

Basically, the last line of my ls is lost occasionally. This can be pretty 
frustrating, since one is inclined to believe what ls says:?

Here's an example. Nothing in the directory is changing, I'm just hitting "ls" 
over and over.

C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>which ls
/usr/bin/ls
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls -l /usr/bin/ls
-rwxr-xr-x 1 stefan root 128526 2010-03-18 22:06 /usr/bin/ls
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
C:\_proj\sw\lib\bulletin>ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
 
I'm using a Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 3) command prompt above, but it 
happens in bash too (perhaps less frequently):

bash-3.2$ ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
bash-3.2$ ls
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.libp. bulletin_util.libib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
bash-3.2$ ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
 
I'm not sure which cygwin package 'ls' is a part of, but I went through and 
updated all packages when I updated today.

Have other people seen this too? Can I provide more information on my system?

Wrong answer.  The right answer is

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: parrot-2.3.0-1, rakudo-201004-1 (aka perl6)

[Reini Urban]

I updated the Cygwin distribution to parrot-2.3.0-1 and rakudo-201004-1.

See also http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal/39411
"When will Perl 6 be finished?"
We will make an "official", intermediate, useful and usable release of 
Perl 6 (an appropriate subset, called "Rakudo Star") by Spring 2010, 
estimated 2010Q2 (not this release). This will be called rakudo-star, 
which will be rakudo (the compiler) plus modules.

Dear all,
Just to let you know that my issue could be solved following the
advise from Herrn Kampe.  That is, I could write

rem @echo off
start c:\Progra~1\Google\Google~1\googletalk.exe /startmenu
start c:\Progra~1\Wxi86f~1\Messen~1\msnmsgr.exe

 in the bat file, to get what I need.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {apr1,libapr1,libapr1-devel}-1.4.2

[David Rothenberger]

apr1 has been updated to the latest upstream release.

CYGWIN NEWS:

This disables F_SETLK support as the tests were failing with that
enabled.

NEWS:
=
Please see

  http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/CHANGES-APR-1.4

for more details about the upstream changes

DESCRIPTION:

The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to
create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable
and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific
implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which
software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not
identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their
software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case
conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific
deficiencies or features.

RE: ls bug

[Road Warrior]

Ick sorry about the formatting! I should know better than to send a plain-text 
hotmail message with a non-microsoft browser like Opera. Trying again:
 
I just tried it in Safe Mode with Command Prompt only. I got weird stuff, 
though not exactly the same as I was getting before. Most of the time ls 
responded completely correctly. But a few times:
 
bash-3.2$ ls
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.libp. bulletin_util.libib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
 
bash-3.2$ ls
CVS bulletin_gen.lib bulletin_msg_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.lib
Debug bulletin_gen_cpp.lib bulletin_pp.lib bulletin_util.lib
Release bulletin_io_cpp.lib bulletin_pp_dll.exp
 
You can see in the top case case it's somehow munged the 2nd line and doesn't 
show the first one at all; the second ls output is the correct output.
 
I think "safe mode" rules out BLODA, but even if it doesn't, an essential tool 
like ls would be especially useful if it could survive being installed at the 
same time as a virus checker, for example.

And there seems to some problem with the path separator in some file?
Montage works but it throws this message up

montage: unable to read font
`/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.0/config//usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf'.
    
This issue was there in the previous packaged release too.

I've just applied a patch which is supposed to fix this problem.

The core component which evaluates a file and performs basic checks now
handles the case STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND specially.  It checks if
the filename has leading spaces and/or trailing dots and spaces.  If so,
it checks the filesystem.  If it's one of the known FSes with broken
(aka DOS-only) path handling, it removes the offending leading spaces
and trailing dots and spaces and tries again.

So this:

  $ touch "  abc...   "

will create the file

  "  abc...   "

for instance on NTFS or FAT, but it will create the file

  "abc"

on NetApp, NWFS and other filesystems recognized as CIFS (but not Samba).

This behaviour is equivalent to the behaviour in native Win32
applications and in Cygwin 1.5.

While I tested the patch, I had to fake a detail to make it work on
NTFS.  I have no access to one of the broken filesystems myself, so
a bit of testing under real-life conditions would be quite helpful.

So I'd like to urge all users who could reproduce the aforementioned
problems to test the *next* Cygwin DLL from the Cygwin Developer
Snapshots URL http://cygwin.com/snapshots/  and report back if it works
or if it doesn't.  *If* it doesn't work, please report the FS and
describe the scenario.

Oh, hey, the cvs problem which started this thread would be quite a
nice test.


Thanks in advance,
Corinna

That's not necessarily a bug.  POSIX requires that a//b and a/b resolve
to the same file.  The only place where it matters how many slashes you
have is if you have two slashes instead of 1 or 3 at the beginning of an
absolute name.

Thanks for the report. A workaround is to set the cursor colour to
something that's sufficiently different both from the foreground and
the background colours, e.g. green as in PuTTY's default config.

Nah, I like to have a few bugs around to keep me company.

perl6 fails

I'm running cygwin on Windows 7 Pro with rakudo 2.3.0 and the most

Simple perl6 test scripts fail. As does command line option -v. Am I

The two common causes of this are:

  1. 
  2. DLL collisions

The solutions:

  1. Kill BLODA. ;-)
  2. rebaseall

See the link above for details on BLODA and how to kill it.  Download
and install the 'rebase' package for (2).  Read the README:

  To summarize the outcome of the discussion: use a mountpoint rather than a
symlink.  The mountpoint will overlay (and override) the then-harmless
directory that setup recreates each time.  Plus it's a bit faster than a
symlink :)

Is 256 colors possible with cmd.exe?

[Alex Leigh]

Hi everyone,

I've been using mintty with Cygwin but I'm finding myself running
Windows console programs that don't work with mintty, and it's
sometimes a hassle to juggle two terminal programs. I would like to
try to switch back to the cmd.exe based Cygwin shell, and I can live
without things like termios support, but I need 256 color support for
vim color schemes. So my question is, is it possible to get 256 colors
with Cygwin running on top of cmd.exe? I found something in this
mailing from 2005 where someone said that cmd.exe only supports 16
colors, but I'm hoping that perhaps that has improved in the 5 years
time since, however unlikely it may be.

If this is not possible, then does anyone have any advice on ways to
have compatibility with both Unix terminal features including 256
color and Windows console programs within a single terminal app? The
only solution of this sort I've found is conin.exe from the developers
of mintty. It does provide half the solution in that it allows input
to be piped from mintty to Windows console programs, but unfortunately
it's not possible to see the output from those programs.

Thank you very much for any help.
Alex

make install permission issue

[Andrwe Lord Weber]

Hi,

I'm trying to build dspam in cygwin after some changes in the build
scripts it compiled but now I'm trying to install it using make install
and this fails.
I get the following error:
/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of : Permission
denied

I've tried to change the permission of a file manually and both chmod
and chown succeeded although chown changes aren't shown by ls -l.

Am I missing something or why can I change the permissions manually but
the install can't?

Regards
Andrwe
