Perl output dropped when invoking itself

2006-11-14 Thread Michael Adler
I'm having Perl I/O problems on one machine that keep me from getting CPAN installations to work. On this machine if I execte: perl -e 'print `perl -e "require 5; print qq{VER_OK\n}"`;' from bash there is no output. On all my other machines it prints VER_OK. ExtUtils::MM_Unix does this t

rsh slow during RAS connection

2002-03-05 Thread Michael Adler
I setup rsh by putting the client's IP in server:/etc/hosts, and the hostname in server:/etc/hosts.equiv. /etc/hosts is a symlink to /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/drivers/etc/hosts. Over the LAN , responses take about 1 second. If I dial into the server using PPP, the response time grows to 50 sec

Re: cron problem

2002-02-28 Thread Michael Adler
I reported a related problem a few weeks ago and then reported a fix for this last week. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any response from the maintainers--perhaps I reported this to the wrong list... Did you start the cron daemon (as some other user?) before creating a crontab? If yes, then that

cron security/permission trouble

2002-01-31 Thread Michael Adler
Greetings, Cygwinners. Recently, cron has been giving me trouble on several machines. My user 'eagle' does not have the correct permissions to rename the tab file (or modify anything in /var/cron). I looked at the nt permissions of the /var/cron/tab direct and it is only modifiable by the user

new setup.exe snapshot

2002-01-29 Thread Michael Adler
I just tried v2.185 of the new setup.exe, and I noticed a potential glitch. If you specify an alternative URL and you do not type it perfectly during your first attempt (like you forget the trailing slash), it's not easy to modify your entry--it seems like you can't add another entry with the sa

private rsync 'mirror'

2002-01-18 Thread Michael Adler
I'd like to keep a local copy of the latest cygwin packages. I'm sure I could just ftp everything from mirrors.rcn.net each night, but I'd much rather use rsync (or something comparable) and spare everyone the waste. My link is so modest so it would be pointless to mirror the content to others.

setup.ini for custom distrobution

2002-01-11 Thread Michael Adler
I'm putting together a modified distrobution of CYGWIN so that I can easily install just the packages that I want, including some custom packages. I wrote a script to create the setup.ini, but I'm not yet satisfied because when I execute setup.exe most of the packages are set for 'skip'. The setu
