RE: Running tasklist /m in cygwin hangs

2015-04-15 Thread Saurabh T
Hi,
Running
 "tasklist /m file.dll" hangs in Cygwin even though it works perfectly 
fine in the cmd window. Is there any reason for this? I am using a 
somewhat older cygwin (1.7.25) on a Windows 7 box, and do not want to 
upgrade unless newer cygwin doesnt show the problem. Thank you.

RE: Running tasklist /m in cygwin hangs

2015-04-17 Thread Saurabh T
I can confirm it still hangs for me with 1.7.35. I am using the 32 bit (i686) 
Cygwin which is the only difference from Andrey's.

peflags makes perl not print to stdout

2012-09-24 Thread Saurabh T

I have been trying to get perl to use 2GB of memory (this is on a 32 bit xp 
machine with 4 GB total memory). As per 
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html I tried 
peflags --cygwin-heap=2048 /usr/bin/perl

However this causes perl to not write to screen.
On further investigation, I found the magic number to be 1040:

$ peflags --cygwin-heap=1039 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: initial Cygwin heap size: 1039 (0x40f) MB

$ perl -e 'print "Hello\n";'
Hello

$ peflags --cygwin-heap=1040 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: initial Cygwin heap size: 1040 (0x410) MB

$ perl -e 'print "Hello\n";'

$

In other words, anything 1040 and above, perl stops writing to screen.
I have the latest cygwin (1.7.16) and perl (5.14.2).
Any idea what might be wrong? Thank you.

Max memory page hosed my cygwin registry - how to get it back?

2010-10-22 Thread Saurabh T

I ran the 
regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1024
command from
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html

After this
regtool -v list /HKLM/Software/Cygwin
shows nothing.

Appears regtool has a different syntax than what's shown on the page.

(a) How do I get my previous settings (default, cygwin 1.7) back? Is there any 
problem not having the registry values in there?
(b) Whom do I kick for writing faulty documentation?

In that case you're probably doing something wrong.  At the very least,
you aren't following the guidelines suggested here:

I'd suggest reading this link, referenced at the above web page:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I understand you dont have a lot of time to respond to emails, but if you cant 
respond helpfully, please attempt to read the email before polluting the thread 
with a dismissive reply. regtool has a different syntax from what is shown on 
the max memory page. regtool -i set Key\Value not regtool -i set Key Value. 
Doing the latter seems to have removed the cygwin registry values. I asked how 
to get the original registry values back, and whether there was a problem not 
having these values. Ok I admit (b) was a pitiful attempt at

Bold color in "cygwin bash shell"

2012-10-17 Thread Saurabh T

Hi,

For various reasons, I cannot switch to rxvt or similar, and am stuck
using the cygwin bash shell (which runs on top of the dos cmd window).

Here, the background color defaults to black and foreground to light.
I reversed this using the dos window -> Properties -> Colors.

However the bold color does not change. This causes for example man pages
to be displayed badly (light text on light background).

Is there anything that can be done to change the bold color? I searched
on this mailing list and found just one similar question from 10 years
ago which was unanswered:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01512.html

Hopefully someone can help. Thank you.

saurabh

Thanks for all the help. Earnie's suggestion worked. I ended up adding:
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\e[1;34m'
in ~/.bashrc, which paints those in bold blue.
Alternatively, making the cmd background a light grey instead of completely
white also works in that the original bold white color is clearly visible.

Source a .bat file from bash

2013-08-09 Thread Saurabh T
Is there a way to source a .bat file from bash and have the paths and other 
environment variables set in it apply in cygwin?

For example

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

$ cat file.bat
set path=%path%;C:\windows\something
set x=somevar

$ some_command file.bat

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/windows/something   <- Expected

$ echo $x
somevar   <- Expected

Is this possible?

Thanks,
saurabh

Please try to minimize/remove your config file and quote a minimal
configuration that has the effect. Do you have the scrollbar enabled?


That was helpful! Removed .minttyrc, then opened a terminal, the problem had 
disappeared. Now bringing back the same exact .minttyrc does not have any 
problem. Thank you!
