Re: Issue with system command in Octave 4.0.0 GUI

Hello,
The new Octave 4.0.0 GUI is very impressive. I did discover an issue, though.
Using the system command with 'bash" as an argument, i.e,
system('bash')
should yield a bash command prompt in the command window. However, this causes
the command line interface to hang.
This works in the command-line version..
The system command with other legal bash commands (e.g. 'ls') seems to work
fine in the GUI.
I am running 64-bit Cygwin. Output of cygcheck attached.

Hi James,
yes, your old package is grown up a bit.
About your question, I am not so sure that it is expected to work.
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Controlling-Subprocesses.html
The bash process is not run in a proper terminal so it has no access to
command inputs, while octave is waiting for its termination.
If you use system("xterm"), than bash works in a separate terminal
and octave does not hang.
Regards
Marco

In hindsight, yes maybe.

Well, for me it's quite normal that "cygserver" and "cron" are running when I'm reading or writing mail or even when I'm running "cygcheck". However, this doesn't necessarily mean that they were running while I tried to rebase.

I've compiled my own terminfo file for screen, the recipe copied below from the tmux FAQ: --8<---cut here---start->8--- Screen's terminfo description lacks italics mode and has standout mode in its place, but using the same escape sequence that urxvt uses for italics. This means applications (like vim) looking for italics will not find it and might turn to reverse in its place, while applications (like less) asking for standout will end up with italics instead of reverse. To make applications aware that tmux supports italics and to use a proper escape sequence for standout, you'll need to create a new terminfo file with modified sgr, smso, rmso, sitm and ritm entries: $ mkdir $HOME/.terminfo/ $ screen_terminfo="screen" $ infocmp "$screen_terminfo" | sed \ -e 's/^screen[^|]*|[^,]*,/screen-it|screen with italics support,/' \ -e 's/%?%p1%t;3%/%?%p1%t;7%/' \ -e 's/smso=[^,]*,/smso=\\E[7m,/' \ -e 's/rmso=[^,]*,/rmso=\\E[27m,/' \ -e '$s/$/ sitm=\\E[3m, ritm=\\E[23m,/' > /tmp/screen.terminfo $ tic /tmp/screen.terminfo And tell tmux to use it in ~/.tmux.conf: set -g default-terminal "screen-it" If your terminal supports 256 colors, use: $ screen_terminfo="screen-256color" instead of "screen". See the FAQ entry about 256 colors support for more info. Also note that tmux will still display reverse video on terminals that do not support italics. --8<---cut here---end--->8--- I don't know much about these things, but it seems that the patch you're linking to deals with the interpretation of the backspace key in certain situations?

You are correct, that patch is unrelated. However, it turns out that ncurses-6.0 ships with new 'tmux' and 'tmux-256color' terminfos, which appear to include the settings indicated in said FAQ. tmux should use these instead of the screen terminfos. I'm in the process of triple-checking that I have the correct options to avoid ABI breakage in ncurses-6.0, at which point I'll upload and you can use these instead. -- Yaakov -- 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

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Version 2.1-1 of "tmux" has been uploaded.
tmux is a terminal multiplexer, similar to GNU screen. It enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal like GNU screen. tmux runs as a server-client system. Moreover tmux provides a consistent and well-documented command interface, with the same syntax whether used interactively, as a key binding, or from the shell. It offers a choice of vim or Emacs key layouts. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
