I have written the following script, which is as good as I can do at
the moment.
- begin -
#!/usr/bin/bash
# rmed -- remove empty directories recursively
# usage: rmed [DIR] where DIR is an optional argument, the directory
# where to start examining.
# limitations:
# - spaces in file or direcory names
Hm. I'm used to Linux compatible systems treating `test -z` as checking
files/dirs for zero length, not strings.
I'm not sure why the following doesn't work:
#!/bin/bash
for dir in **/*; do if [ -d $dir -a ! -s $dir ];then echo $dir; fi; done
for dir in **/.*; do if [ -d $dir -a ! -s $dir ];then echo $dir; fi; done
Maybe zsh works better than bash here?
Anyhow, here is an elegant, working solution. If no optional dir is
passed, then the current dir is checked recursively, and empty
subdirectories are passed.
#!/bin/bash
ROOT=${1:-.}
if [ ! -d $ROOT ];then ROOT=.;fi
find $ROOT -type d -empty|xargs rmdir -
Here is a shortcoming:
1) Makes only one pass, so if a directory only contains empty
subdirectories, that new, empty parent remains.
You could try saving the dirnames/parents of deleted directories into a
list, or recursively attempt to rmed them.

Re: Window events skip past window manager?
Christopher, I'm just installed using Cygwin/X via Cygwin Setup: XFree86-base v 4.3.0-1 XFee86-bin v 4.3.0-8 Running on Win XP Pro. The version of XFree86-xserv is important. Options for XWin.exe are also good information. It's a great relief to see X again! I'm starting off with just the default twm. However, it seems that most window mouse and key events are not captured by the window manager, and instead are passed on to the app. For example: Button3 = : all : f.raiselower This works only for the root, the window titlebar, and in the iconmgr. In the window, it just passes Button3 on to the running application. I assume you mention twm and tested using .twmrc containing only the line you showed. It looks raiselower is working correctly on the release-44 server with no option given. F1 = : all : f.raiselower F2 = : all : f.warpto emacs Both of these work only on root. I've played with fvwm2 as well and experienced similar results. I also tried the F1 case and got success. Anyway to get this to work? I suspect that you are using a too old version of Cygwin/X or your .twmrc has some errors. Takuma Murakami
Re: Problems with the right-button.
Gonzalo, What do you mean when you say pressing a control key? Which key do you refer? I meant the key which is printed Ctrl on its keytop, but it is not the problem because you prove Cygwin/X has different behaviour to other X servers. I have followed your recomendations, and have done a test with xev. This is what I get when I click the right-button: ButtonPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1e1, root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 7103754, (84,92), root:(150,158), state 0x10, button 3, same_screen YES It indicates button presses are correctly reported to applications, I believe. A little suspicion is the state 0x10. Were you pressing some keys while the xev test? Any help will be apreciated. Unfortunately I have no more ideas. I don't have CDE environments, so I can't even try to examine or reproduce your problem. Takuma Murakami
Re: map mouse button 4 or 5 to button 2?
Jeffrey, Is it possible to have either button 4 or 5 (usually the forward/back buttons) send a 'button 2' signal (ie paste) to cygwin applications? Chad shows the best way for your purpose. As a note, you can swap mouse buttons via xmodmap command in UNIX like environments. For this case xmodmap -e pointer = 1 5 3 4 2 swaps button 2 and button 5. My new mouse/keyboard setup is MS Wireless Optical Desktop Elite (which includes a Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0), and I'm running hm, not sure how to check my Cygwin version, it's probably ~4 months old ... on WinXP. The xmodmap way works well on Cygwin/X versions newer than release-22 (released on 2003-11-9). Takuma Murakami

Just to confuse the issue further (sorry), can I map the right mouse button to CTRL+F9 ? I guess xmodmap cannot do such remapping. However there are some tools which achieve the remapping in Windows layer. Maybe there are some in UNIX layer too. Takuma Murakami

Re: GDI object leak with remote emacs
Jeremy, I don't know if this is related to the problems that people are experiencing with local copies of emacs but I'm seeing a GDI object leak with remote invocations of emacs that are routed back to my X server. Basically, I run cygwin/XFree86 on my local workstation, and I start an emacs on a Unix server that is displayed on my X server here. When using emacs, everytime I open a file, I can see that the XWin.exe processes gains a few GDI objects, but killing that buffer in emacs doesn't free them. Exiting emacs doesn't free them either. Once the leak grows enough (around 1500 GDI objects in XWin.exe) I start getting repaint problems and I have to kill X and restart it. I cannot reproduce this in the following environments. - Cygwin DLL 1.5.5 and 1.5.7 - Cygwin/X release-44 - GNU Emacs 21.3 on FreeBSD 4.8 and 21.3 on MacOS X 10.3 - SFU not installed - invoked by 'ssh -CXf hostname emacs' In my task manager's process list XWin.exe allocates 2 GDI objects for a frame and the number of open files does not affect it. Closing a frame correctly reduces 2 GDI objects. Takuma Murakami

problems with maximized windows
Hi, I'm using XFree86 4.3.0 under Windows 2000 and Windows XP in multiwindow mode, but I have problems with maximized windows. With many applications (especially CrossOver, but not only), if I maximize them, X starts to display duplicate layers and mouse pointers in menues, drop down lists and anything that pops up without a complete window. This never happens if I don't use the multiwindow mode, so I guess it's a problem with window border calculations in the local window manager. Has anyone ever had this problem? Am I doing something wrong with the configuration? -- Bye, Massimiliano Hofer Nucleus
Re: map mouse button 4 or 5 to button 2?
Jeff, I just bought the same keyboard and mouse setup and ran into the same issue that you did. The key is to make the mouse wheel click map to something that the mouse driver does not intercept and prevent from being handled by the current application. The Switch Application function is an intercepted function, whereas the old default AutoScroll is not intercepted, so the mouse wheel click is passed through to the current application. I am not sure there is much we can do to force the mouse driver to pass us the mouse wheel click, so you might just have to set it back to AutoScroll to get the desired functionality.

Re: XWin causes Windows apps to hang(?)
Ed, Yes, the OpenClipboard failure is probably causing your crash. Try editing your startxwin.bat and removing the -clipboard parameter being passed to XWin.exe. There is likely a bug in XWin.exe's clipboard support that will need to be fixed.

[PATCH] Add support for non portable mutex initializers
This patch will add support for PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP,
PTHREAD_NORMAL_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP and
PTHREAD_ERRORCHECK_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP (+ some small bugfixes).
Attached are also testcases for these initializers.
The initializer names are borrowed from linux nptl.
These initializers can be used for example to enable thread safe stdio
in newlib without moving __sinit. I really want to get this fixed.

P.S.: I will be on winter vacation next week, no reply during that
time.

lpr improvement proposal
Hi all, Now that the new version (1.2.4-1) of lpr works properly I have been trying to configure the printing commands of programs that can print directly, such as dvips, ghostview or xfig. I have found that this task is not trivial because in general the files to be printed need to be preprocessed; for example in my case they need to be converted from postscript to deskjet. Not even the printing of a text file is trivial. In order to facilitate this task I have modified lpr including a couple of additional options. I am proposing to include these chages in the new versions of lpr. Follows a description of the modifications. The modified files are attached. 1- In my experience most of the time the CR/LF translation is not needed, so it was flipped the way the raw option works. No option: raw printing, -l option: LF - CR-LF preprocessing. 2- The -f option was included. It indicates that a FORMFEED character is appended to the file. In most printers (working in line printer mode) this would produce the ejection of the last page of the document. 3- The -F nameoffilter to give the name of a filter (or pipe), to be applied to the input file before sending it to the printer. So lpr -l -Ffilter -Pprinter file would be equivalent to filter file | lpr -l -Pprinter . Follows a description of how to print different kinds of files on different kinds of hardware if lpr had the features I am proposing. --- Printing of text files with line-printers. In a Cygwin environment one has at least three kinds of text files: Unix text files, Windows text files and DOS text files. Unix and Windows text files usually use some iso-8859-* character set, while DOS uses an ibm-cp* character set. On the other hand Windows and DOS text files use CR-LF line terminations, while Unix files use LF line terminations. Most printers have a line-printer mode in which they print each byte of a text file. In many cases, such as in mine, the printer is DOS-compatible, what that means is that it uses an ibm-cp* character set, depending on the language you use, and of course it requires a CR-LF or LF-CR line termination. In my case the printer and DOS use ibm-cp850, while cygwin and Windows use iso-8859-1. In order to print a text file one has to: for a DOS text file: append FF, send raw to lpr; for a Windows text file: translate iso-8859-1 to ibm-cp850, append FF, send raw to lpr; for a Unix text file: translate iso-8859-1 to ibm-cp850, LF-CR-LF, append FF, send raw to lpr. If lpr had the options I proposed (including the change of -l) and an iso2ibm filter were available the commands for printing text files were: lpr -f -Pprinter DOS.txt lpr -f -Fiso2ibm -Pprinter WINDOWS.txt lpr -f -Fiso2ibm -l -Pprinter UNIX.txt Right now I have to use scripts in order to accomplish the same tasks. There are line-printers that use the iso-8859-* character set, in that case WINDOWS and UNIX text files don't need to be preprocessed, but DOS file would require an ibm2iso filter: lpr -f -Fibm2iso -Pprinter DOS.txt lpr -f -Pprinter WINDOWS.txt lpr -f -l -Pprinter UNIX.txt --- Using a postscript printer. To print a postscript file would be trivial lpr -Pprinter file.ps To print a text file you need a formatting filter, that produces a postscript file from the text file. Call it txt2ps. txt2ps can be designed to process both WINDOWS and UNIX files. lpr -Ftxt2ps file.txt For a DOS.TWX file you would need to previously apply an ibm2iso filter lpr -Fibm2iso|txt2ps DOS.txt --- Using other graphic printers. Most modern printers have a graphic mode of operation, which use their own graphic language. The printer I have is a HP color deskjet. The ghostscript which is distributed by cygwin translate a postscript file to any kind of other graphic languages. Using gs one can make a shell script that behaves as a filter from pstscript to deskjet: ps2cdj. Some examples of printing. In order to print the output of a program like Word with the option print to file one only needs to send the file raw to the printer lpr -Pprinter file.cdj For printing a postscript file lpr -Fps2cdj -Pprinter file.ps For printing a text file in graphic mode lpr -Ftxt2ps|ps2cdj -Pprinter file.txt lpr -Fibm2iso|txt2ps|ps2cdj -Pprinter DOS.txt --- Rodrigo Medina.

Tried this...some scripts ran. One that didn't wanted lanman.pm located in Win32::lanman. Queerly enough, doing a i /lanman comes up zip even though it is in CPAN at /CPAN/sources/authors/id/J/JH/JHELBERG/lanman.1.0.10.0.zip.

Do all the win32 libraries have to have a special port to work on cygwin even though cygwin was supposed to aid in allowing posix type apps (like perl) to run under win either from the bash or cjmd.exe shell? Definitely the win32 lib is a step in the right direction...but why does cygwin need a special version?

Re: [Fwd: Bug: Perl:IsWinNT undefined RFE, only use / in reg values, not names..?]
Do all the win32 libraries have to have a special port to work on cygwin even though cygwin was supposed to aid in allowing posix type apps (like perl) to run under win either from the bash or cjmd.exe shell? Definitely the win32 lib is a step in the right direction...but why does cygwin need a special version? Seems to me you answered your own question. The perl that's bundled with Cygwin is *NOT* an Active-State-*like* Win32 version of perl. It's really a *unix* built version of perl that -requires- Cygwin to even run on Windoze at all. That being the case, Cygwin perl *thinks* its running on unix - not Win32. Therefore, modules that expect direct, non-POSIX access to the Win32 subsystem are gonna need some help that wouldn't otherwise be necessary with a true Win32 build of Perl.

Zsh crashes on Ctrl-Z with cygwin1.dll snapshot 2004-02-18
Hi, since upgrading Cygwin Dll from 1.5.5-1 (which I have to, because I need exim 4.30 which won't run with cygwin1.dll 1.5.6-1, so downgrading is not an option), I'm suffering from problems with Zsh (4.1.1-2). I don't know what Zsh does with process management (the problems don't occur neither with Bash nor pdksh), but here the story goes (hoping this is still fixable before 1.5.8 comes out!): 1.5.5-1: Zsh works fine. 1.5.6-1: Zsh hangs immediately after starting, the shell is essentially unusable. 1.5.7-1: Zsh starts, but hangs (reproducably) after trying to start a non-existing command. Also, shell functions executing pipelines with builtin commands (e.g. ``echo | grep ...'') hang ocasionally. 2004-02-18 snapshot: Zsh starts fine, no more hangups on non-existing commands, but trying to suspend a program (e.g. vim, lynx) by hitting Ctrl-Z results in a crash with error messages like: 4 [sig] zsh 1912 handle_threadlist_exception: handle_threadlist_exception called with threadlist_ix -1 And stackdumps like: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=61025D4B eax=0011 ebx= ecx=0065EB6C edx=61025650 esi=0065EBDC edi=61025650 ebp=0065E864 esp=0065E53C program=C:\cygwin\bin\zsh.exe cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=0038 gs= ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 0065E864 61025D4B (, , , ) 0065EB94 61026784 (0740, 0065EBDC, 00A4, 0065EBC8) 0065F0A4 6108D45E (610F0774, , 0065F0C4, 0065F0FC) 0065F0C4 610030A6 (610F0774, 0065F0FC, 61003040, 5DF7) 0065F0F4 61003DE4 (, , , ) 0065FFA4 61003D9A (, , , ) End of stack trace Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Dalibor dalibor at cs dot fau dot de -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

two text/binary oddities
Short form: 1) cat foo creates foo with DOS line endings... no matter what. 2) A control-Z in a file doesn't act as end-of-file in text mode, despite what the Cygwin User's Guide says. Long form: 1) Apparently, cat sometimes explicitly sets stdout to O_TEXT. This occurs twice in the source, once with the comment /* If stdin is a terminal device, and it is the ONLY input file (i.e. we didn't write anything to the output yet), switch the output back to TEXT mode. This is so cat xyzzy creates a DOS-style text file, like people expect. */ It's certainly not what a Cygwin user with binary mounts and CYGWIN=tty binmode is likely to expect. I suggest that both occurences of setting the mode of stdout be removed from the Cygwin port of cat. 2) Well, the Cygwin User's Guide says b. On reading in text mode, a CR followed by an NL is deleted and a ^Z character signals the end of file. Happily for me, only the first seems to be happening. Are the docs out of date, or did I test insufficiently, or is the situation more complicated?

I guess I read the man page wrong: The realloc() function changes the size of the block of memory pointed to by the pointer parameter to the number of bytes specified by the size parameter, and returns a pointer to the block. The contents of the block ^^^ remain unchanged up to the lesser of the old and new sizes, and the con- tents of any memory added beyond the limit of the old size is undefined.

Re: [Fwd: Bug: Perl:IsWinNT undefined RFE, only use / in reg values, not names..?]
What features does one get with a unix perl over a perl built where WinNT is defined as true or false? Many (most? all?) of the Win32 calls are available in the Cygwin environment, why not compile the perl as a mixed breed perl that defines WinNT? What is lost by allowing Perl to make libwin32 calls. If Cygwin is supposed to enable me to run my utils and scripts from bash or cnd.exe, then why should perl be different? What do I lose by defining -MWin32 in the PERL5OPS?, or put another way, why isn't it on and present all the time? Besides, it seems, that the cpan modules for perl can't be for active state perl since they have their own package manager -- but are for the floundering win32-perl that is mostly eclipsed by active state's perl and cygwin's perl. I suppose I find it frustrating to find books/examples about win32-perl that don't quite work on active state and don't quite work on cyg_WIN_ (vs. a cygunix product that might infer a variant of unix). It seems cyg_win_ was designed to add POSIX and unix compatibility and functionality to the _Win_ environment with the intent of making things _easier_ (Easy is good -- not everyone can be a master of every technology). So why not make things easier for perl scripters as well by starting with a perl that is unix (works with cpan, handles paths with //, /) and win (paths handle \\, : and and define WinNT) compatible? Is there some fundamental reason why they can't both be present in perl? I think part of the problem is that Perl is both an app (can be view as a unix app to be transferred over), or can be viewed as part of the development environment (as it is a development tool) that also understands it is running in a mixed mode. I'm favoring the latter view, obviously, while some have taken the former view. I'm just thinking it makes cygperl so much more accessible/useful to have it understand it's mixed mode heritage as well. Is that something real difficult or impossible to do? (I don't know, never having built perl in the first place.) Linda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Seems to me you answered your own question. The perl that's bundled with Cygwin is *NOT* an Active-State-*like* Win32 version of perl. It's really a *unix* built version of perl that -requires- Cygwin to even run on Windoze at all. That being the case, Cygwin perl *thinks* its running on unix - not Win32. Therefore, modules that expect direct, non-POSIX access to the Win32 subsystem are gonna need some help that wouldn't otherwise be necessary with a true Win32 build of Perl.

Allow some time, please. On the win32-perl/ActiveState side, the stuff in our package is divided into two places, the perl core, and the libwin32 CPAN distribution. -MWin32CORE will get you what is in the perl core for non-cygwin perl's. The need for that should go away at some point. Code using other Win32:: parts should already have use Win32. Note that cygwin runs not just on WinNT and derivitaves; you can expect Win32::IsWinNT to return false for Win9x, just as it does with ActiveState (IIRC). Besides, it seems, that the cpan modules for perl can't be for active state perl since they have their own package manager -- but are for the floundering win32-perl that is mostly eclipsed by active state's perl and cygwin's perl. As far as I know, they are usable with ActiveState (for XS modules assuming you have the same compilation tools ActiveState uses).

Re: [Fwd: Bug: Perl:IsWinNT undefined RFE, only use / in reg values, not names..?]
It seems cyg_win_ was designed to add POSIX and unix compatibility and functionality to the _Win_ environment with the intent of making things _easier_ (Easy is good -- not everyone can be a master of every technology). So why not make things easier for perl scripters as well by starting with a perl that is unix (works with cpan, handles paths with //, /) and win (paths handle \\, : and and define WinNT) compatible? I can't bring up the cygwin site right now for some reason, so I'll go off memory. I do succinctly remember cgf being asked about cygwin making things easier and he very clearly stated THAT WAS NOT THE GOAL. The goal was to make a POSIX COMPATIBLE layer for Microsoft Windows Platforms. PERIOD. There is no other goal, focus or mission. At least *that* is what I took from his statements. This discussion is in the archives somewhere. I don't think anyone would argue that making things easier is a good thing to strive for - but that in fact is a much *bigger* and *loftier* goal than the one defined for the cygwin project. Cygwin is still a *relatively* new animal and there isn't a big enough cross-over user base wanting hybrid capability to stimulate many developers into working more towards this goal. The fact that libwin32 got ported is proof that such desire *does* exist and that things are *beginning* to move in this direction - but one must have patience!!! Furthermore, the changes needed were introduced into the modules themselves, NOT the cygwin1.dll. (At least, that's my possibly errant understanding). cgf and crew have enough challenge right now just getting the *POSIX* thing right. When that task is someday finished - maybe they too will be inspired to *up the ante*. And I for one completely understand their lack of desire for doing it *now*.

RE: Repeatable crash with CVS version of cygwin1 DLL

Still crashes, but stackptr does not go out-of-bounds. At some point, _sigbe tries to ret with the top of stack ($esp) value set to 0. Some additional data points: 1. I moved the test .exe file to a Win2000 box running an old cygwin1.dll (file version 1005.5.0.0, product version 1.5.5-cr-0x9b). No crash. The test seems to run fine. Sorry. The fact that this worked in 1.5.5 is uninteresting. Actually it _is_ interesting because it means that the crash is not due to some bogus use of longjmp/setjmp in my test program. I did ask for it by commenting in another message that I would like to know the regression points but that is more for someone who says, out of the blue, The snapshot is broken! with no hint of when something stopped working. 2. I moved the new 1.5.8 cygwin1.dll back to that Win2000 box. Test crashes. So, if you use the version that is known not to work, it crashes. Um, er... This eliminates a variable in the test: the possibility that cygwin crashes only in WinXP and not in Win2000. Debugging isn't science, but we can try for some logic. It is not feasible for me to put together a simple test program, unless you want load and build RTEMS so you can link to it. Huh? I don't understand. Isn't RTEMS an OS? RTEMS is an OS but it can be built to run in an emulation mode that requires a posix interface. Normally people do this under Unix, but I figure cygwin should work too. And it almost does. Have you actually tried to build a test case using the stub from your original message? No, the crash occurs deep down in the RTEMS context switching that uses the code fragment I showed you before. If you trust me, I can push you the test .exe file. I can uuencode it to probably get past your filters. But that seems like a poor thing to post to this list. Do you want me to email it or push it somewhere else? Please advise. If the .exe is not too large then send it to the mailing list so that it can be archived. Okay, you asked for it... uudecode, gunzip, (chmod maybe) then ./ticker.exe It should type a message every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.

[Auto tool wrappers] The usage for ifnames ??
I read the book GCC: The complete reference by Arthur Griffith... In this book it says no example about how to actually use the autoconf package.. There is a line says about how to execute the command ifnames and the functionality of it. I also read the manpage of ifnames but still get confused. When I input $ ifnames *.c *.h it comes ifnames: invalid number of arguments Try `ifnames --help' for more information. And if I input $ ifnames becomes ifnames: Couldn't find configure.ac nor configure.in file run /usr/auto*/bin/ifnames directly Can somebody give me an example about how to use it and what kind of requisite is it for the usage?

This did not move ~/src/myprojects/--1.2 to ~/src/tla--escapes--1.2. What it did do was move it to /cygdrive/c/tla--escapes--1.2. Tilde expansion is usually done by the shell. However, judging from the rest of your message, you meant the above to say mv -- --1.2 ../tla--escapes--1.2 More below. Here are the pertinent paths: / is a binary system mount of C:\cygwin /cis a binary system mount of C:\ /home is a binary system mount of C:\home ~ is /home/rdparker ~/src is a directory, /home/rdparker/src ~/src/myprojects is a symlink to /c/MyProjects The symlink is just intended to graft my Windows source into my preferred ~/src working location for use with reasonable tools. It appears that when mv did a .. from ~/src/myprojects, it actually did a .. from /c/MyProjects not from ~/src/myprojects. Is this the expected behavior? This is the expected behavior. The symlink takes you to the directory, but the .. uses the actual parent directory entry, which points to /c. If you want this to work seamlessly, create an actual ~/src/myprojects directory, and use 'mount' to map /c/MyProjects to /home/rdparker/src/myprojects. I don't have a *nix system handy to check out how .. works with symlinked directories. The above is rather logical if you think about it. FWIW, it does work the same way on Linux (not surprisingly).

The signal stack has since been cleared so it ends up jumping to location 0. I'm not sure how this would work on linux or any other OS. Is there code that does some stack magic or something? cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

That should be an easy one.. :) This isn't really Cywgin-specific. As a result, it's off-topic for this list. But fixing perl's long-standing inability to do direct inline editing via perl -i would be cygwin specific. Anyone investigated this lately? Huh. Interesting way to open a new subject. Since the text you quoted above makes absolutely no mention whatsoever about Perl but later responses to this thread do, I'm going to assume that you at least read further along, saw the subsequent suggestions about using Perl for the above, and then decided to reply to my post, which doesn't mention Perl, bringing up the new topic of how -i does or doesn't work with Cygwin's Perl. I guess this just goes to show there are a thousand different ways to look at things. I never would have imagined this would seem like a straight line to anyone. Anyway, as mentioned later in the thread, the problem is the implied semantics of unlink() which isn't supported by the Windows API. So this long-standing inability for Perl is likely to remain for the foreseeable future AFAICS. This list prefers that you start new threads for new subjects, just for future reference. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

I can do better: see http://www. http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ It's a little out of date, especially with respect to cygwin, but only because cygwin is much more similar to Unix now than it was.

daylight saving
Hi, 'date' on cygwin shows time that's 1 hour behind my machine's local time (Win2K). I am on daylight saving right now (ie. 1 hour ealirer than usual). What can I do to fix the cygwin time so it recognises the daylight saving? regards King Lung Chiu -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

WFM (see below). ... $ perl -i -pe 's/blah/stuff/g' sometext $ ls sometext sometext.bak It didn't do the editing inline, it created a new file and renamed the old one .bak. In other words, on Cygwin -i is really -i.bak. If you try the above sequence on linux you don't get a .bak file and the changes are truly done in-place. I assume this relates to differences in filesystem semantics. huh? what do you mean in-place? linux writes new file to new place, it just deletes .bak file afterwards, unlike cygwin.

main thread of a process
I want to send messages to the main thread of a Win process created with 'spawn'. Is there a way to do that in 'pure Cygwin'? The Windows sequence would be: CreateProcess(NULL, cmd, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, si, pi); ... PostThreadMessage(pi.dwThreadId, WM_QUIT, 0, 0); //or whatever ... 'spawn' returns the 'pid' of the new process. Is that always equal to pi.dwProcessId? Is there a way to get from this 'pid' to sending messages to the main thread? Is there a place where pi.dwThreadId is saved?

The CYGWIN=tty section now reads, Defaults to not set, in which case the tty is opened in text mode. Note that this has been changed such that ^D works as expected instead of ^Z, and is settable via stty. Does this sound accurate? I also removed the sentence On reading in text mode, a CR followed by an NL is deleted and a ^Z character signals the end of file from the Using Text and Binary Modes section, the whole of which seems somewhat outdated. Ah, (volunteer) job security. I also changed all mentions of ^M to ^S, just to be mean.

It opens xxx for read, unlinks it, opens xxx for writing, then reads from the original handle and writes to the second handle. This is AFAIUI impossible on windows, but possible on things like unix and VMS (where the unlink is skipped because of the automatic versioning). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
