Something strange... at least to me. STC: /tmp$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PT00062412 1.7.0(0.214/5/3) 2009-10-03 14:33 i686 Cygwin /tmp$ ls -l /dev/log srw-rw-rw- 1 SYSTEM root 53 Oct 9 23:12 /dev/log /tmp$ ln /dev/log log /tmp$ ls -l total 1 srw-rw-rw- 2 SYSTEM root 53 Oct 9 23:12 log.lnk
HUH? .lnk?? This is a **hard link**. And even if it was a symbolic, there's no more .lnk, unless we ask explicitely, right? FYI, I can do a ln -s log.lnk log, and it still works (eg., with logger), AFAICS. But this is probably not the intended way of working. -- ___________ Julio Costa -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
