This should really just be part of cygcheck.
What I meant is to have cygcheck invoke those commands and display the output, transparently to the user. Cygcheck already calls 'id' in this manner... Or did you mean that the wget dependency is not ok? I assume the same applies to perl and curl, then. This would involve adding http connection capability to cygcheck... > OTOH, how hard would it be to just have cygcheck open up a browser > window pointing to the correct location? Pretty easy, either via cygstart or by replicating the cygstart ShellExecute logic inside cygcheck... The advantage of the text-only approach is uniformity with the rest of cygcheck's output.
