Re: Question re. export environment variable

That's the way I expected it to work. I was just unsure of whether there was something cygwin-specific, as it seems strange that something like HOSTNAME is not marked for export at the time that it is set. I'll stick it into ~/.bashrc. Fred I've always used the "set -a" shell builtin command in my .bashrc or .kshrc files which then exports all environment variables to all spawned bshells. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: Does Mutt work now?

Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 16:50:46 -0600 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sorry, mutt still has problems on Win98. -- Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer. Patriot. Hi there, does mutt work now? I installed Cygwin a while ago on Win98 and mutt had that lock prob, so I uninstalled Cygwin and decided to wait till they included a working version of mutt in the package. Did that happen yet or does anyone know how long it will take till I can download a working binary from anywhere in the net? Thanks! ;-) (I just miss mutt when forced to work on Win, so I'd appreciate any hint...) I just use the older version 1.2.5i, it doesn't have the dot-lock turned on which is what causes the problems for me. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Cron problem after using hibernate
I have been running cron for over a year now without any problems until
recently. Typically I leave my PC running XP on all day and then
hibernate it very late in the evening, turning it back on each morning.
Cron would run without fail executing as expected until sometime after
11/21. Around that time I used setup to update all out of date programs,
and 2 that updated were cygrunsrv and cron. After that update, cron no
longer performs anything in my crontab once the PC has been hibernated
and then turned back on. Rebooting or restrting cron by executing
"cygrunsrv -E cron" then "cygrunsrv -S cron" fixes the problem
everytime. The ps output always shows cron even when cron doesn't work.
I've tried reverting to older cron and cygrunsrv in all combinations and
none of it fixed the problem. I've looked over the problem reports and
saw nothing there either. I've run the most recent cron_check.sh and it
reports no problems.
I've attached the cygcheck output, but not my crontab since it works
correctly after the cron restarts so I doubt it's the problem.

Do you google? <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00978.html> Could be my problem, but as I mentioned it had worked flawlessly for at least a year even with daily hibernation until just very recently, so I'd be surprised if that is the cause of my problem. But on the other hand, being an experienced software engineer I know stranger things do happen, so you never know. For future reference, this list prefers that you *attach* the output of cygcheck rather than including it in the context of the email message. Attaching helps limit 'false positive' hits when searching the archives. TIA for you help in this matter. I did attach it as I have been a long time reader of this list and knew of this recommendation. It does show as an attachment in the digest I received this morning.
