Bash scripts may misbehave if SHELLOPTS is exported and 'monitor' is enabled

2007-01-03 Thread David Picton
I have noticed that a few scripts misbehave if SHELLOPTS is exported, or defined in the environment before bash is first invoked. (I had set SHELLOPTS=igncr in the system environment - but I've backed this out to avoid the problems). The problems seem to be caused by incorrect signal handling.

Bash 3.1.9 and 3.2.4: igncr setting not effective for 'source'd files

2006-10-31 Thread David Picton
Unfortunately I have to report that both versions of bash don't implement the igncr setting if commands are read from a sourced file. For example, I have /etc/profile set up to issue shopt -s igncr # as the first line (or set -o igncr; export SHELLOPTS # for version 3.2.4) If I do unix2dos

Sshd: problem with X11 passthru

2006-03-27 Thread David Picton
I have encountered a problem with the sshd server when the client specifies X11 passthru i.e. ssh -Y or ssh -X. The allocation of virtual displays doesn't work correctly if two or more X11-enabled sessions run at the same time. As I understand it, the server should give each session a unique disp

strange cygstart bug with current Cygwin versions

2006-02-03 Thread David Picton
I have encountered a strange bug when starting Microsoft Word when it is started by the cygstart command, e.g. "cygstart Index.doc", with the current version of the Cygwin dll. The symptoms are as follows: 1. Word appears to start normally, and the file can be edited on screen. 2. However, whe

Missing /bin/sh link

2005-10-28 Thread David Picton
I'd like to know whether other people have seen this problem. I did a new installation on a C disk and found that files were missing. The cause was a missing link - no /bin/sh. I did 'ln -s ash.exe sh.exe' and reinstalled the packages, and all was well. *Disclaimer This e-mail
