setup.exe and mounting home directory in fstab

2013-09-19 Thread Rob Siklos
Background: I wanted my /home directory to point to c:\Users rather than the out-of-the-box home directory created by cygwin. In order to accomplish this, I deleted the existing home folder and created a soft link mapping /home to /cygdrive/c/Users. This works great, except that I notice

Quoting Earnie Boyd : Did you read the part that said to try cygwin.com/snapshots for a fix? Ok - my bad - snapshot works well for CTRL+C. Seems like CTRL+Z only works for selected cygwin native processes. If this is wrong, please let me know. Thanks Earnie Rob. -- Problem reports:

from address of cron emails

2007-11-09 Thread Rob Siklos
Hi, I'm running cron through cygwin, using ssmtp.exe as the sendmail replacement. It seems that none of cron's e-mails are getting through, because my SMTP server rejects "root (Cron Daemon)" as a valid From address in the outgoing e-mail. Is there any way of changing this? Thanks, Rob.

Hi, I've searched google, but couldn't readily find an answer to this. What happens if I have a GUI application that I install as a service (and set the startup type to Auto) with cygrunsrv. Is this supported? I'm hoping that the window info will just be thrown away, but the app will still
