PostgreSQL 7.3.2 restart issue

[Ken Dibble]

Please bear with me as I'm pretty new to this.

Configuration

cygwin1.dll
File version 1003.22.0.0
Product Version 1.3.22-dontuse-21
cygipc version 1.14-1

PostgreSql 7.3.2 prebuilt (in cygwin distribution)

OS- WinXP Home
CPU- Athlon XP 2000+
Memory 640MB physical 910MB virtual
All current SP1 Hotfixes

The first time the database is started all is well ( ipc-daemon & then 
pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l server.log -o -i)

After shutdown (pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data stop -ms)

Attempting to restart the database fails with:
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=1499136, 03600) failed: 
Function not implemented

All of the emails on the mailing list that I have perused appear to 
indicate that
this means the ipc-daemon is not running.

This is not the case, it does not matter if I leave the daemon running 
after shutting down
the database or stop it with kill -HUP and restart it.  The result is 
the same error message.

Rebooting allows you to start up the database, then the same behaviour 
is repeated.

Thanks for your time.

Re: PostgreSQL 7.3.2 restart issue

[Ken Dibble]

It appears I've isolated the problem.
I downloaded and installed 1.13 of the ipc-daemon.
I am aware that this daemon has another issue, but if fixes my problem.
Possibly when the XP Fast-Switch problem was fixed, another was introduced.
Should I report this elsewhere as well?
Thanks,
Ken

OK, I've reread the thread again.  You have posted the details in
your original message.  Any chance you could verify whether Fast-Switch
problem is the cause of the issue you see?  Perhaps just the results
of strace may provide some insight too.

I won't even pretend to know how to use strace.
The problem appears to be related to a mismatch between cygipc versions 
and Postgresql versions.

Here is what I believe to be accurate:
Postgresql 7.3.2-1 works with cygipc 1.13 with the caveat of the 
Fast-Switch problem
Postgresql 7.3.2.1 works with cygipc 1.14 with the caveat that it can 
only be started once per WindowsOS boot.
Postgresql 7.3.3-1 appears to work correctly with cygipc 1.14.

I don't know if this is true for other OS types/versions.
I only know it is true for my machine (with the results of cygcheck in 
the original post).

Thanks to both Larry Hall and Jason Tischler for getting me straightened 
out.

Well, I doubt greatly that you're an idiot. Confusion is the prelude 
to enlightenment, after all...

(Compare that with Eudora whose "mood watch" feature seems to think 
the first sentence of the previous paragraph is some kind of insult!)

However, we'd all appreciate it if you'd figure out how to use your 
mail client to make sure text attachments are not placed in-line with 
the message content. Not to do so defeats the purpose of attaching the 
"cygcheck" output, which is to make list searching meaningful by 
preventing the false hits that occur because of all the package and 
file names that are included in the cygcheck output.


I can't make sense of this.

$ find ./ -mtime -1  -print | wc -l
   55
$ find ./ -mtime -1 -ls | wc -l
   55
$ find ./ -mmin -1440 -ls | wc -l
   55
$ find ./ -mtime -1  -exec ls -l  '{}' \; | wc -l
 2046


Look carefully at the man page for find where the "-ls" option is 
described. It says that "-ls" is equivalent to running "ls" with the 
options "-dils". The salient option here is "-d" which suppresses the 
listing of a directory's contents when a directory is an explicit 
argument to ls. You're not including "-d" in your invocation of ls, so 
every directory produced by find contributes its entire contents to 
the output of ls that is subsequently counted by "wc -l".


$ find ./ -mtime -1  -exec ls -l  {} \; | wc -l
 2046
$ find ./ -mmin -1440  -exec ls -l  {} \; | wc -l
 2046
and just for grins

$ find ./ -print | wc -l
31701
$ find ./ -mtime -10 -print | wc -l
  285
$ find ./ -mtime -100 -print | wc -l
15590
The oddity (bug?) appears to be tied to -exec somehow.


No. The "-exec" option is doing just what you ask and just what it 
should.


Attached is cygcheck -c -v -s.


As above.


I can't attach the file lists (unpiped find output) as the message 
size then exceeds 100K and the redhat mailserver bounces it.


No matter. It's not needed.


Any help would be appreciated.


I hope my assumption about the problem is correct (file count 
discrepancies), since you didn't really say what it was that perplexed 
you.

My mistake on the attachment, it was originally sent as an attachment, 
along with the file lists, unfortunately the whole message bounced for size.

Your assumption about directories is a good guess, however seemingly 
only partially correct.

Here is the output today:

$ find ./ -mtime -1  -print
./
./files to backup.txt
./idiot.txt
and

$ find ./ -mtime -1  -print  -exec ls -l '{}' \;
./

As you can see, there are indeed some directories, but a whole bunch of

The big question now is why are some files considered directories?
   

I don't see the confusion here.  You're feeding to "ls -l" the
parameters "./" , "./files to backup.txt" , and "./idiot.txt" which are
the results of find.  "./" is a directory, so ls prints its contents not
its name, that's why you see listings for all the files in the current
directory, followed by listings for "files to backup.txt" and
"idiot.txt".  When you add "-d" to ls, you get just three lines of
output, corresponding to the three things that find found.  How is this
confusing?
 

Brian,

Like I said, I'm an idiot.
It did not occur to me that "./" was being passed to "ls" and that ls 
was just doing
what it was told and listing the entire directory.

Thanks for helping me out.

Ken

Re: gcc - static pointer initialization problem

[Ken Dibble]

Alan Cooley wrote:

Hello,

I am having a problem with a C program.  It appears that static variables
are not being initialized when in an object file.   The program compiles and
links fine but funcPtrStruct.ptr is null so program crashes.
This program works using gcc on Linux and (as I understand the C language)
should work anywhere.
Thanks in advance for any explanation/corrections you can provide.

Alan.

 

FWIW:

The cygwin list is probably not the best resource for resolving this.
The program should crash.  There are multiple problems here.
My opinion is that variables should not be declared in header files.
This leads to ambiguity when the header files declare variables which 
conflict with source files.

My opinion is that all warnings should be turned on all the time.

Had CFLAGS been declared to be  -g -O -Wall

the following would have resulted:

$ make
gcc -g -O -Wall   -c -o static_function_ptr_def.o static_function_ptr_def.c
static_function_ptr_def.c: In function `func':
static_function_ptr_def.c:4: warning: implicit declaration of function `printf'
static_function_ptr_def.c: At top level:
static_function_ptr_def.c:8: conflicting declarations of `funcPtrStruct'
static_function_ptr_def.h:10: `funcPtrStruct' previously declared here
static_function_ptr_def.h:10: warning: `funcPtrStruct' defined but not used
make: *** [static_function_ptr_def.o] Error 1
Which would have given a clue that something wasn't right.

That this program ever worked anywhere in any context is probably an accident
(and maybe a linker bug?).
When static_function_ptr.c compiled it rightly picked up funcPtrStruct from
the header file whis is not initialized.
When static_function_ptr_def.c compiled it picked up funcPtrStruct(which is not initialized) from the header file which conflicts with funcPtrStruct(which is initialized) that it declares.

In any event the funcPtrStruct in static_function_ptr_def.c is never used (and shouldn't be).

Bottom line, bad programming, correct result.

Regards,
Ken

Are you using the startXWin.bat file?  Trying to run multiple window

If memory serves the people in this list usually refer you to the

Some other question I want to ask is :
1. Can we have different users for cygwin. Because it just added one icon in

Yes
2. Some of the commands like more is not working on my system. I tried to

I expect you really want 'less' but either way, visit

One quick workaround is to edit /etc/passwd and change your
space-containing username to something without a space.
 

Yes, that works, thanks.

exim issue

[Ken Dibble]

I know this isn't a cygwin only problem, but my research has failed to 
produce an
instance of this ever happening.

Common sense says it is just more likely to happen in a NT/XP 
environment with cygwin.

For reference, this is exim 4.32, downloaded last week.
In the exim 4.32 source (spool_in.c)

Re: postgres help

I've gone through all the steps to set up postgreSQL on windows XP.  I
have updated permissions (to /tmp /usr/bin /usr/bin/*), verified the

error:

$ psql -U postgres template1
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
The error does not change if I log in as myself or as postgres.
Any hints as to what to try would be greatly appreciated.
At the risk of looking for the obvious, did you run createdb and check 
that the created database files have the correct permissions?

That was my original thought but:

It has gtk stuff, which I have.
(cygcheck was attached to previous message)
Could you make it obvious for me?
 

I couldn't find gnome-config in the setup package search facility.
I did find cygobject-2.0-0.dll

 That's not related: that's "cyg-object.dll", not "cy-gobject.dll"

 Try double clicking the "cygwin" icon on either your

 Oops, no.  I thought the cygwin.bat file sets your initial path and you

what your shell startup scripts are doing instead.
 Fire up a cmd.exe shell, change dir into C:\cygwin\bin, and enter "bash

You'll need to install vim and perl. 
You'll find vim in the editors category and perl in the interpreters

 # XXX Temporarily commented out until expectk is working again.
 #X11_PROGS = @X_PROGS@
Nevertheless, I edited the Makefile and managed to compile

Googling produces quite a few comments about how it is
generally problematic to compile Tcl/Tk on cygwin.
Has anyone had any success producing an expectk binary?

I'm sure you've probably already checked and considered DejaGnu.
Could there be a hint in its' source about getting expectk to run?
I know nothing of expectk or DejaGnu other than what is on the expect

and the gnu page(http://www.gnu.org/).

I looked on cpan and perl.org and didn't see anything similiar.

Being a perl newbie (this AM was my first explicit try at using it), I

Simple.  'cygcheck' reports the settings in your Windows environment while

Re: Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp

[Ken Dibble]

from
man ssh
-
The file $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys lists the public keys that are per-
mitted for logging in.
ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.  The user
creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1).  This stores the
private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and stores the public key in
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory.  The user should
then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her 
home
directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to
the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, 
though the
lines can be very long).  After this, the user can log in without 
giving
the password. 
-

My personal opinion is that the last line causes a bit of confusion for 
some users,
as giving a non-null passphrase when  the specified key is generated 
causes the user
to have to enter the passphrase (which can be  interpreted as a request for
the password).

this link may also provide some useful information

Hello,
I am attempting to replace an automated ftp process with sftp. This ftp

11.0 server every 10 minutes and places then on the EDI Server. I would like
to modify this process to use sftp and use the SSH keys for password less
connections ..i.e. public key authentication.
So far I have installed and tested SSH on the HPUX 11.0 server. I have also
installed cygwin on the Windows 2000 server and preformed a successful test
using sftp. The next step is to setup the public key authentication so that
I can use sftp in the automated ftp process.
I have Google'd the net and searched the archives of this list but have not
been able to find any good documentation that shows me exactly what needs to
be done in order to get the authentication working in my environment (mix of
Windows and UNIX). So far I have been able to generate the private and
public keys for both servers as show below:
HPUX 11.0 - ssh-keygen -t dsa -f hp_sftp_user
This command create the following files hp_sftp_user & hp_sftp_user.pub
Windows / CYGWIN - ssh -keygen -t dsa -P ""
This was an interactive session and I was asked for the file names.
win2k_sftp and win2k_sftp.pub were generated.
** Please let me know if there are better ways to generate the above keys
..including any additional options I may need.
If the above mentioned keys are workable ... I now need a solution that will
allow me to put these files to use on both the HPUX and Windows servers so I
will be able to use password less connections .. which is especially need
for the scheduled ftp process running on Windows.
Thanks in advance for you help,

Re: Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp

[Ken Dibble]

log in to the HPUX box as applmgr and run ssh-keygen
as follows
ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ""
the quotes are important as this gives you a null passphrase
It will generate "id_rsa" and "id_rsa.pub" files in $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/
copy $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/ authorized_keys2
move $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/id_rsa to the W2K box
as
c:\Documents and Settings\colibri\.ssh\applmgr_id_rsa
on the W2K Box
set the permissions on the applmgr_id_rsa file to u=rw, g=none,o=none
by
chmod 0600 .ssh/applmgr_id_rsa
ssh -i applmgr_id_rsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I recall,  the first time it prompts you for a password and generates 
the known hosts file.

Thereafter it should be passwordless.
The id_rsa file does not have to be named applmgr_id_rsa,
I only did that for clarity, just make sure the filename matches the 
filename given by the -i option to ssh

It's been a while since I've done this, but this is correct to the best 
of my memory.

Chris Shehan wrote:
Good Afternoon,
Thanks for your response. I have tried to work through both you answer and
the solution you provided in the web link. So far I am still unable to get
the passwordless connection to work.
Here is my setup:
Windows 2000 server. Windows user name is colibri. I have generated the RSA
keys which were created in the c:\Documents and Settings\colibri\.ssh
directory (id_rsa & id_rsa.pub).
The user that I wish to connect to on the HP UX server is applmgr. So I take
the id_rsa.pub file and copy it to the HPUX server. It was placed in the
/u02/app/applmgr/.ssh directly and named authorized_keys.
Supposedly once this is done I should be able to connect to the HPUX server
from the Windows server as applmgr via ssh or sftp (example : sftp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) without being asked for a password... correct? I am still
prompted for a password.
Or is this process assuming that I have identical users on both servers with
identical passwords?
I am sure this is a very simple setup and that I am missing something
simple.
Please help me clarify the situation and/or point out my problem.
Thanks again for you help,

Re: Cygwin function for getting the current directory?

[Ken Dibble]

I am assuming that English is not your first language.
Cygwin-function doesn't really have a meaning.
Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer for Windows.
I am inferring from the phrase "Win32's GetCurrentDirectory()"
that you are programming in some compiled language, most likely C or C++.
If the above assumptions are true then you probably need to download 
some development documentation.
You probably want the man page for getcwd().

A good place to start reading would be the cygwin website.  Especially 
parts about problems, asking questions,
the cygwin API, and programming questions.

Good Luck

It had something to do with a change in binutils, I think.

Re: Python os.path.join inconsistency?

I don't know anything about Python but I do know that

Hello,
I just ran across an inconsistency on the os.path module for Cygwin
Python, specifically os.path.join:
 

import os.path
os.path.join( 'c:/foo', 'c:/foo/bar' )
   

'c:foo/c:/foo/bar'
 

os.path.join( '/cygdrive/c/foo', '/cygdrive/c/foo/bar' )
   

'/cygdrive/c/foo/bar'
The first incantation of os.path.join with Windows style paths violates
the documentation statement that os.path.join neglects previous paths once
it encounters an absolute path.
Does it not seem inconsistent that if Cygwin Python understands how to
execute:
file( 'c:/foo/bar' ) as well as file( '/cygdrive/c/foo/bar' )
it should also treat Windows style paths correctly with os.path.join? In
other words, it seems that Python on Cygwin cannot default to using
posixpath.py for os.path. It's got to be posixpath.py with some additional
magic to get it to do os.path.join correctly.
How does one go about submitting a patch for Cygwin Python?

c:/foo and c:/foo/bar are perfectly acceptable windows paths.  Some
windows utilities don't accept this style of window path on the command
line but they are recognized by all of the windows functions which use
paths.
I don't know python but I am not surprised that a cygwin version of
python would be "confused" by the use of colons in path names since
avoidance of that kind of path is one of the main reasons for cygwin's
existence.  The cygwin DLL does try to handle dos paths correctly but
that doesn't mean that a UNIX program which manipulates UNIX path names
will be happy to see them.

c:\foo and c:\foo\bar are.
This probably doesn't help though.

I just ran across an inconsistency on the os.path module for Cygwin
Python, specifically os.path.join:
 

import os.path
os.path.join( 'c:/foo', 'c:/foo/bar' )
 

   

'c:foo/c:/foo/bar'
 

os.path.join( '/cygdrive/c/foo', '/cygdrive/c/foo/bar' )
 

   

'/cygdrive/c/foo/bar'
The first incantation of os.path.join with Windows style paths violates
the documentation statement that os.path.join neglects previous paths once
it encounters an absolute path.
Does it not seem inconsistent that if Cygwin Python understands how to
execute:
file( 'c:/foo/bar' ) as well as file( '/cygdrive/c/foo/bar' )
it should also treat Windows style paths correctly with os.path.join? In
other words, it seems that Python on Cygwin cannot default to using
posixpath.py for os.path. It's got to be posixpath.py with some additional
magic to get it to do os.path.join correctly.
How does one go about submitting a patch for Cygwin Python?

Re: Perl searching in wrong path for modules?

[Ken Dibble]

I'm probably going to get you in trouble here (seeing as I know nothing 
about perl or apache).

Why couldn't you set the environment variable PERL5LIB 
in your apache config file using the SetEnv directive?

The PERL5LIB environment variable would then (theoretically)
be prepended to @INC.

Hi,
i wanted to use cygwin perl for executing perl scripts from (win32, 
the one from apache.org, not the cygwin one) Apache, so i included the 
line #!D:/cygwin/bin/perl.exe -w in my CGIs. But now i have the 
problem that perl looks in the wrong folder for the Perl Modules, for 
example if i want to load Archive::Zip, it trys to load it from 
D:\usr\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.8.5\XML\Simple.pm instead of 
D:\cygwin(\usr)\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.8.5\XML\Simple.pm. So i wonder 
if this is a bug in cygwin perl or rather a bug in Apache (or a error 
from my side even?). I attached the cygcheck output, if it matters. My 
OS is Windows 2000, Apache was 2.0.50, Cygwin is 1.5.10-cr-0x5e6.

Thanks

I don't know exactly what you are saying and I can only guess since 
there is no cygcheck output attached

as per the reporting guidelines.
My WAG is that you either don't have fltk installed (flpsed claims to 
require > 1.1
and the cygwin version is 1.1.4) or that your makefile isn't pointing to 
it by its' correct name

and path.

 Ken,

I also tried putting them in ~/profile.ksh but it didn't work either.
I did this one time, and there was a file in a certain location where I

I tried putting them in as follows:

alias ll='ls -l'
alias h='history'
alias main='cd /cygdrive/c/depot/source/main'
alias ob2='cd /cygdrive/c/depot/Projects/ob2'
alias depot='cd /cygdrive/c/depot'

You .bash_profile should look like:
---
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash for login shells.

if [ -e /etc/bash.bashrc ] ; then
 source /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

if [ -e ~/.bashrc ] ; then
 source ~/.bashrc
fi

If  memory serves, this is the default .bash_profile.

This would make sure that .bashrc gets executed whether your shell is a 
login or not.


If this is indeed your .bash_profile, I would next check permissions on 
both files to make sure they

are executable.

I am assuming that your login shell is bash.

If it still doesn't work, what happens when you source these files from 
a command prompt?

Moved to Cygwin-Xfree .

Is X running or are you trying to run gv from a cmd-type shell?

Tthe XWin log file would be helpful as well.

 Shorten some of those names by making the prefix shorter by moving the

Amazing what information is out there to be shared if you ask just half

Agreed.  I would guess it could be a small service (a nice implementation
would even put an icon in the system tray).

While the effort of actually writing code at 5am is commendable
(especially since you said "yet" -- the only time you'd see *me* writing
code at 5am is if I'd been doing it all night :-) ), the code below does
do some wasteful things.

 


#!/bin/bash

#Igor's whichpkg
function whichpkg() {
wget -qO- "http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=$1"; | \
  sed -ne '/Cygwin Package List/,${s###g;p}'
}
   



You could also simply 'wget -qO- "http://cygwin.com/packages/cygwin";' and
find the last line that starts with "cygwin".  That would be *wa-ay*
faster.

 


LATEST=`whichpkg cygwin | grep "emulation" | tail -1 |  awk -F "-" '{print $2}'`
   



Even if you do use the "whichpkg" above, it's probably better to search
for 'cygwin1\.dll'... :-)

Besides, this would lose the Cygwin-specific release number.

 


CUR=`uname -a | awk '{print $3}' | awk -F"(" '{print $1}'`
   



CUR=`uname -r | awk -F"(" '{print $1}'`

or

CUR=`cygcheck -cd cygwin | sed -ne 's/^cygwin\s\+// p'`

Both will not do the right thing if you have a snapshot installed.  You'll
have to think about what exactly the "right thing" is in this case.

 


if [ $CUR != $LATEST ]; then
echo "new cygwin dll version "$LATEST" available"
else
echo "Your cygwin dll is current"
fi
   



Again, you need to also deal with snapshots.

But if this were written in C, run as a service, and extended to all
installed packages, it could be the beginning of something useful. :-)
Igor



Yes, I  know it was wasteful.  I guess I failed to make my point.

OPINION:  I don't believe in having the latest and greatest of 
everything.  I believe
   in STABLE ( as anyone who has looked at my cygcheck 
will attest).
   So, like I said,  I really don't think something 
like this belongs in cygwin proper.


POINT:  I can see the downside to this and have great reservations.
  But if YOU must have this, it shouldn't be too hard for 
YOU to do it.


YMMV.

Igor,  Thanks for continuing to enlighten me about the myriad of ways of 
doing things.


Regards,
Ken

There may be a simpler way to do it, but this seems to work:

This is shorter:

Or you can do it the long, slow wasteful way, which us dullards are required
to use, so we can figure out why it broke yet again.

#!/bin/bash
let c=0;
# get the number of fields
for i in `mount -p | tail -1`; do let c=$c+1; done

# if number of fields is greater than 3 because mount point has a space, 
add them

CUT_FIELDS="--fields=1"
let i=3;
while [ $i -lt $c ]
do
CUT_FIELDS=$CUT_FIELDS,$i
let i=$i+1

# get the fields
mount -p | tail -1 | /usr/bin/cut --delimiter=" " $CUT_FIELDS

Personally, if something breaks, I'd rather look at one line than
eighteen.  I can't imagine why anyone would find the above an acceptable
solution when it's possible to do it all with one line.  And, the above
doesn't handle imbedded spaces.

Btw, a further simplification:

mount -p | sed -nr '2s/(\S) +\S+ +\S+$/\1/p'

cgf
 

You are right, the shell script that I wrote does not address the issue 
it was intended for.

I apologize for any inconvienence this caused anyone.
As well, I apologize for not spending enought time using sed for your 
sed scripts to mean anything to me.

It doesn't deal with imbedded spaces in the cygdrive prefix --
i.e., the point of this exercise.

cgf
 


If I read the man page correctly:

   -m, --mount-commands
 write mount commands to replace user and system mount 
points and

 cygdrive prefixes

Since all this script does is take this output of mount -m and parse it
Is "mount -m"  is broken then?

Am I not understanding the man page or am I so dense that I'm missing 
something?

Thanks.  One of these years I will eventually understand when quotes 
cause an item with embedded spaces
to be a single item and when they get lost in processing, causing the 
embedded space item to be multiple items.


I apppreciate your  time.

Yes you are missing something, and no 'mount -m' works perfectly fine. 
If the cygdrive prefix has a space in it, using awk to print the fifth

word will be incorrect.  Consider:

echo 'mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/thing with spaces"' \
  | awk '{ print $5 }'

Brian


Still searching for a non-sed solution Ken hammered out:

So this would be correct?

mount -m |  grep "mount -u" | tail -1  | awk -F'"' '{ print $2 }'

as
echo 'mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/thing with spaces"'  | awk 
-F'"' '{ print $2 }'

results in
/thing with spaces

The awk part seems fine, but I don't know about the "mount -u".  That
will only match if you have a user-mode cygdrive set.  As you can see
from my example, that doesn't include me (or anyone else that installs
cygwin choosing "All users" in setup.exe.)

If you're going to use awk then you can simplify and not bother with
grep and tail, they're extraneous.

mount -m | awk -F '"' '/--change-cygdrive-prefix/ { print $2 }'

Brian
 

Well, maybe my installation is hosed then.  I have installed for all 
users, but mount -m returns


mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" 
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"

mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin" "/"
mount -u -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/"

so...

mount -m | awk -F '"' '/--change-cygdrive-prefix/ { print $2 }'

results in

/cygdrive
/


so, I can see that the grep is not needed, but since there is more than 
one output line, tail, head or the like

would be needed,  no?

It's not hosed, you just happen to have both flavors of cygdrive
prefix.  The user mounts always take precedence over the system-wide
ones.  If I were you I'd remove the user cygdrive (since all your other
mounts are system) with "umount -uc" and then change your system
cygdrive to the desired value, presumably "mount -c /cygdrive".

 



Thank you, worked like a charm.
