(SunOS 5.8 creates a bidirectional pipe, while the Linux doc indicates it creates a unidirectional pipe with pd[0] ready to be read and pd[1] ready to be written) 2. the child then execl()s a shell which makes more output and _exit()s if the execl() is unsuccessful. 3. the parent sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN and close()s the 'w'||pd[1] end of the pipe. 4. the parent blocks in waitpid() until the child completes, then fstat()s the 'r'||pd[0] end of the pipe and reports the number of bytes written into it.

I found this while trying to use the find command as part of an SSH call. For example, assuming you have an SSH server set up: I would think this has more to do with how you set your path than anything else. [...] No, it's not that. I was able to reproduce the described behavior even when my system path has Cygwin's bin path before Windows. Sounds more like a cockpit error. I just tried it and I can't reproduce it. Running 'sshd' in debug mode showed the imported path that was not an exact match to any path I'd set anywhere. So far, I haven't been able to get far enough that I know why this happens. But I can say that it happens for me and on more than 1 system and O/S. It's not a bug, it's a feature :-) What happens is a combination of what's done in cygrunsrv and sshd. First, cygrunsrv adds the path to /bin to the environment before starting a child process. But it *appends* /bin to the path, so that the order of path evaluation isn't changed. So that can be taken out of the equation. And what does sshd? Sshd is equivalent to a login process, so on non-Cygwin systems, it has to set the PATH variable to the default path value for the system. Usually something like PATH=/usr/bin:/bin. On Windows it's a bit different because the PATH variable given to service process (== the system environment) already contains paths, which are required to run any process on Windows. So the PATH variable must not be replaced by default paths as on other systems. Consequentially, Cygwin-sshd does not change $PATH at all, but uses the default PATH as it is set in the Windows system environment. This is, IMHO, the equivalent to the default PATH on other systems. What you can do: - Prepend Cygwin paths to your system environment and restart(!) the PC. - Set the default PATH only for your sshd service, for instance cygrunsrv -I sshd -d CYGWIN sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D \ -e PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem assuming your Windows is installed in C:\Windows - Even better: Always use absolute paths when running remote applications.

Re: Perl-Win32-Porters Digest, Vol 14, Issue 1
robert johnson schrieb: hello i have been using activestate's perl for win32 just fine, except that i cant do ZModem transfers. so I installed CYGWIN, and built a new perl in that environment, with the hopes i could use available zmodem routines built for *nix. problem is, whereas Win32::SerialPort worked just fine in windows, the corresponding Device::SerialPort is not working so well in Cygwin. the make complains that it cant find the following header files: /usr/include/sys/termiox.h /usr/include/sys/ttycom.h /usr/include/sys/modem.h and warns: checking the checking serial control via ioctl... no configure: WARNING: Without ioctl support, most serial control functions are missing. well, thats not going to work. and Device::Modem has a dependency on Device::SerialPort. ive been all over the net, the boards, hassling the folks at cygwin and the author of the Devices::SerialPort module (Kees). Cygwin claims that the headers in quesion have never been in their distribution, and so the problem is in the application code. SerialPort.pm's author just said hm, never tried it on Cygwin. so... my task, should i accept it, is to port SerialPort.pm over to cygwin, by resolving the problems with the three missing header files. at least. and probably then some more. which would be difficult if i knew what i was doing. But since I Have No Idea, it should be a breeze, right? anyone got any suggestions? refering to: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg01371.html 1) Why did you build perl from scratch where it would be just easier to install the cygwin package? I didn't need those headers with the regular cygwin perl package and the regular cpan Device::SerialPort package. You may need ioctl but it is easier to use the winapi directly than the POSIX quirks. Forget the headers. Look at the original source. 2) Why do ask cygwin questions here at the defunct activestate list? The new libwin32 list is libwin32@perl.org 3) What's wrong with the Win32 package. Device::SerialPort is just a backport from the original Win32::SerialPort (based on Win32API::CommPort) over to POSIX. Using the direct package even on cygwin would be much better. 4) cpan Device::SerialPort ioctl is missing, but this is not important imho. checking serial control via ioctl... no configure: WARNING: Without ioctl support, most serial control functions are missing checking read/write of RTS signal... no configure: WARNING: You will not be able to check or change the RTS line (direct flow control) checking read/write of DTR signal... no configure: WARNING: You will not be able to check or change the DTR line (modem hang up) but only one test is failing: t/test3...FAILED test 93 Failed 1/159 tests, 99.37% okay $err=$tock - $tick; is_bad ($err 50);# 93 print 0 elapsed time=$err\n; ( I had no modem attached ) 1/727 subtests failed, 99.86% okay. Conclusion if this is not enough: 1) I would recommend to build Win32::SerialPort and Win32API::CommPort on cygwin (SerialPort-0.19), which will just require adding MakeMaker support. At least the cygwin folks will highly appreciate it, if not the cpan folks also. 2) Easier would be to add cygwin support to Device::SerialPort by using the original WINAPI calls for the few ioctl functions. And it will be more likely that the Device::SerialPort maintainer will accept it. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ http://phpwiki.org/ -- 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/
Re: cygwin-1.5.16-1: FIFOs broken
However, that said, the above WJFFM. In fact, it works more like linux in 1.5.16 than it does on 1.5.15, i.e., the cat command exits after printing YOUR TEXT HERE whereas it continues to block in 1.5.15. I tried the 4/30 snapshot of cygwin1.dll. It exhibited the behavior you mentioned with the 'cat' exiting after it reads text. However, this is a bad thing. It means that the FIFO is being set EOF after there is no more data. I tried my client-server app with the snapshot cygwin1.dll, and it failed because of this. It seems to me that the behavior of FIFOs under 1.5.15 was correct, and that under both 1.5.16 and the snapshot, FIFOs are now broken. FWIW, I just tested your example under Solaris 8 and it works just like Christopher describes. Okay. I have seen the error of my ways.

For example, assuming you have an SSH server set up: I would think this has more to do with how you set your path than anything else. [...] No, it's not that. I was able to reproduce the described behavior even when my system path has Cygwin's bin path before Windows. Sounds more like a cockpit error. I just tried it and I can't reproduce it. Yeah, it looks like I must have been caught by Windows' insufferable need to be rebooted after almost any change. Why am I surprised? ;-) Running 'sshd' in debug mode showed the imported path that was not an exact match to any path I'd set anywhere. So far, I haven't been able to get far enough that I know why this happens. But I can say that it happens for me and on more than 1 system and O/S. I should have said Windows O/S here. Specifically, I tried it on W2K and XP. It's not a bug, it's a feature :-) What happens is a combination of what's done in cygrunsrv and sshd. First, cygrunsrv adds the path to /bin to the environment before starting a child process. But it *appends* /bin to the path, so that the order of path evaluation isn't changed. So that can be taken out of the equation. And what does sshd? Sshd is equivalent to a login process, so on non-Cygwin systems, it has to set the PATH variable to the default path value for the system. Usually something like PATH=/usr/bin:/bin. On Windows it's a bit different because the PATH variable given to service process (== the system environment) already contains paths, which are required to run any process on Windows. So the PATH variable must not be replaced by default paths as on other systems. Consequentially, Cygwin-sshd does not change $PATH at all, but uses the default PATH as it is set in the Windows system environment. This is, IMHO, the equivalent to the default PATH on other systems. What you can do: - Prepend Cygwin paths to your system environment and restart(!) the PC. As I said above, UGH! ;-) - Set the default PATH only for your sshd service, for instance cygrunsrv -I sshd -d CYGWIN sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D \ -e PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem assuming your Windows is installed in C:\Windows Yeah, this is probably the nicest from the user point of view. - Even better: Always use absolute paths when running remote applications. Yep. That certainly works and is the most portable. :-) Thanks. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

read bug in Cygwin 1.5.16?
Hi all,
I tried to forward this message to the main cygwin
list yesterday, but had a little trouble getting it
there, probably because I mentioned xterm in the
subject. I'm trying again in case this is NOT an X
problem but a base cygwin problem.
I have attached the test program xtermbug.c instead
of pasting it inline. I hope that is OK for this
list.
If there is anything I can do to help debug the reason
I am seeing this problem, please just tell me what to
do.
BTW, thanks to all the developers for an awesome
product.
Regards,
Peter Farley

Hi all,
The following program demonstrates what looks to me
like a bug in the read function in an xterm (as
opposed to a Cygwin console window). To run the
test, compile with:
gcc -g -o xtermbug.exe xtermbug.c
When you run it in a console window, you can enter
normal keyboard characters, then a return to see
cmdline=what you typed. Press the Esc key to
exit the program.
When run in an xterm window, the first keypress
causes this behavior:
1. Select returns with rc = 0 and readset set to
indicate that a key was received
2. read returns with kblen = 1 and kbbuf[0] = '\0'
3. (1) and (2) repeat forever.
I put in a maxdbg parameter and terminate the
program after 5 occurrences of this loop.
This problem was first detected trying to run a copy
of the hercules IBM mainframe emulator in a Cygwin
xterm window. The code below is extracted and
minimalized as much as possible from the hercules
keyboard input routine.
