updating packages/utilities

2002-02-13 Thread Alex BATKO
I can't find anything in neither the documentation, nor the FAQ about how to update a Cygwin package or Cygwin utility, or about how to install a package AFTER Cygwin has already been installed. If anyone knows a link to such documentation, please reply. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.

no output from net.exe

2002-01-17 Thread Alex BATKO
When I am logged into my windows machine via ssh, I cannot redirect the output of the command net.exe into a file, nor capture the output in an array (within a perl script). On the other hand, executing `net.exe group >> zzz` from the cygwin bash shell, and from windows' command.com, works just
