~^Z hangs ssh

2003-06-29 Thread Shing-Fat Fred Ma
Hello, I'm finding that ~^Z hangs the cygwin session rather than suspending my connection. I'm using cygwin to ssh into a solaris box. I've confirmed that suspension works properly when using ssh from sun box to sun box. Can't find any mention of this problem in the mailing list or Google. Doe

Hello, I recently upgraded to cygwin-1.3.12-4 on WinME. Recently I noticed that ftp (Gnu inetutils) 1.3.2 hangs when "put"-ing a file (the entire file seems to be transferred though). Don't recall having this problem before. I'm connecting to my university via sympatico dialup. Also, when I us

Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.3.15 DLL epoch: 19 Hello, I'm finding that dos2unix and d2u doesn't change a file in-place, even with -U (the timestamp doesn't even change). It works find for stdin-to-stdout, though. Just thought I'd share my feelings on that (that is, I feel it

Thanks, Bob. That's the way I expected it to work. I was just unsure of whether there was something cygwin-specific, as it seems strange that something like HOSTNAME is not marked for export at the time that it is set. I'll stick it into ~/.bashrc. Fred -- Fred Ma, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carleton Un
