Re: Copy-on-write fork

A test program and statistics are shown below which clearly show Cygwin's fork implementation in the lead. how much memory did your programs allocate prior to fork()ing? copy-on-write might only apply to applications with high memory-usage. another thing i didn't understand was, why you took a t

Re: Initializing and cygwin.bat

As a new user I wanted to customize cygwin.bat to my system, which uses 4dos as the shell and only maintains command.com as an antique. W98 BTW. I found that various commands wouldn't work! The reason was that command.com was being called in the .pif file. I simply changed the .pif to specify "

Re: Cygwin Here power toy

But I get to see two bash processes with different PID's in the Taskmanager. However, 'ps -e' shows only one... perhaps it's some kind of "forked" but you should test this: open two win32-consoles my first console looks like this: C:\>mkdir t C:\>cygwin\bin\bash --login -c "cd /cygdrive/c/t; e

Re: Cygwin Here power toy

REGEDIT4 [...] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygwinHere\command] @="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe --login -c \"cd '%1' ; exec /bin/bash -rcfile ~/.bashrc\"" can you think of any better way to start bash? the above creates two bash.exe in memory: one executing /etc/profile and the cd-command and

Re: ssh refuses to enter binmode (fwd)

I recently posted a *specific* message saying that I thought I'd fixed your *specific* problem. This was after you reported that previous snapshots didn't work. It wasn't in response to a specific email from you but, that really shouldn't be necessary. that true, but i tried the 20021017 snaps

bug introduced in cygwin 1.3.13-2

hi! i'm using ssh.exe as my CVS_RSH from eclipse. until today, it worked fine - i would even say perfectly. but since i installed 1.3.13-2 the response from the CVS-server seems to get modified. i cannot installed 1.3.13-1 again with the setup.exe, but 1.3.12-4 works, 1.3.13-2 does not. i thin

Re: bug introduced in cygwin 1.3.13-2

We have a similar problem with WinCVS and ssh. Up to 1.3.12-4 it works but with 1.3.13-2 not. The server response and/or the ssh output seems to have changed. How can I track this problem further down ? BTW: cygwin's cvs does work with ssh, so only external non-cygwin programs seem to have probl

Re: bug introduced in cygwin 1.3.13-2

i tried http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20021016.dll.bz2 and copied the dll over to one in c:\cygwin\bin nothing new - the bug still exists. installed 20021017 now, same bug BTW: it's not the problems which were caused by ntsec-option, my ssh is working fine, as long as i use it from wi

Re: bug introduced in cygwin 1.3.13-2

TRY A SNAPSHOT. hmmm ... i tried http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20021016.dll.bz2 and copied the dll over to one in c:\cygwin\bin nothing new - the bug still exists. is it easy to compile a new one from the cvs-sources? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: ssh refuses to enter binmode (fwd)

Why are you refusing to use the snapshot? This is very perplexing. you said "use a snapshot" and so i did, but you ignored me when i said, that the latest snapshot i found didn't fix th problem. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http:/

paths like //usr/local

hi, a path like //usr/local is treated as an UNC path. this might leads to problems when an application is using //usr/local as a normal "unix"-path. i don't know how to overcome the problem, but one might think of a path like /unc/computer/share instead of using the path //computer/share wha
