Thanks for replying! >Is /usr/bin in your current path?
yes, everything�s fine.... >Did you select the sh-utils/grep/sed/et >al. packages when you installed cygwin? also yes. this in fact was my first idea, but sed itself seems to work... >...it looks like it needs postgres.exe in the same directory as >the script or in /usr/bin. >Regards, >Shelby Cain So now I�ll describe it more precisely: I�ve tested around all night ;) and found out, that *no* script works correctly whereas its command-line pendant does. For example: CMDNAME=`basename $0` -->says : not found. But, as c.-l. it works.?! It can�t do the command in `�? Or: stty -echo > /dev/null 2>&1 -->doesn�t recognize at all Then - and i�m not quite shure what it SHOULD do - the following structure doesn�t work: cat "$POSTGRES_BKI" \ | sed -e "s/POSTGRES/$POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME/g" \ -e "s/ENCODING/$MULTIBYTEID/g" \| "$PGPATH"/postgres -boot -x1 $PGSQL_OPT $BACKEND_TALK_ARG template1 \ -> $POSTGRES_BKI, $POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME and $MULTIBYTEID ARE defined Can�t it do pipes on win98? Or chains? It even can�t write into a file with cat??? "cat from > here" made my OS crash ... So I modified the script, removed all checks, hard-coded the options, but this long statement seems to be important... I don�t know anymore if it�d be the best idea to let it be....yet there are reasons not to install W2K or NT, but they should defintely work? Hm, I�m seriously wondering if *anybody* did manage it to run under W98... Thanks anyway, i�ll try it another few hours, and then... :D Tom -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
