I searched for this problem in the Documentation page, list archives, FAQ,

Is anyone aware of a port of "watch" to Cygwin?
For the curious, watch is a standard (?) tool on Linux which re-executes a command at
2 second intervals (configurable).
ex: watch "ls -l"
This is more convenient than looping code on the shell.
On Linux, this is part of procps:

Hello,
I understand the problem I am about to ask is not uncommon, and I have made
considerable effort to look for the answers in the archive...
On an up-to-date (today) Cygwin install, sshd refuses to start (the MS Management
console gives a useless error). On other systems, I have installed

There might be enough demand for a Cygwin book; I'd buy one in a heartbeat. With
problems like this you get the complexity UNIX is known for, with NT's lack of decent
error reporting. When you're DONE, of course, you get powerful UNIX tools, with
Win2K's good points (good poin
Looks like our problems are somewhat related. I wonder if anyone else has ideas...

All,
1) Is it possible for sshd to use the NT box's PDC password server? Is there a HOW-TO?
I checked the FAQ, and many of the hits I got on Google.
2) If PDC authentication is not possible, can I use the "local NT password database"
(created using NT's user tools)?
For now, I just manually "

Have you looked for "cygpath" in the archives (also `man cygpath`).
cygpath will return a "converted" path. Be sure to use single quotes OR properly
escape your input string or you will not get the expected result.

Hello,
I'm experiencing some non-intuitive behavior when -- under Cygwin Perl -- calling
system commands. The FAQ alludes to "differences" between Cygwin and systems like
Linux.. this might be another one of these differences, or it might be dumb-user-error.
I have a solution I can live with.

Cygwin maps UNIX/POSIX behavior on top of NT, but NT was designed to be compatible
with DOS's *broken* conventions, so NT is half-broken.
Any kind of parsing for mounts like you suggest would probably incur a perfor

If I understand your question correctly, this is a Putty-specific question, and you

William,
The "ntsec" problem by all accounts was a one-time switch that burned a lot of people.
It seems like a great feature (not completely using it myself), and when I upgraded to
it I had NO idea of the impending change. I should have known better than to perform
blind upgrades.
