strange behavior with perl v 5.8.8
Hello,
I've run into a strange adding problem with perl:
when incrementing by 0.1 i get a strange behavior where at some
arbitrary number, it will append 0.99 to the end of the
number.
test case:
my $start = 0;
my $interval = 0.1;
my $end = 10;
do{ print "start: $start\n"; $start += $interval;}until($start >= $end);
Results:
...
start: 4.5
start: 4.6
start: 4.7
start: 4.8
start: 4.9
start: 5
start: 5.1
start: 5.2
start: 5.3
start: 5.4
start: 5.5
start: 5.6
start: 5.7
start: 5.8
start: 5.9
start: 5.99
start: 6.09
start: 6.19
start: 6.29
start: 6.39
start: 6.49
start: 6.59
start: 6.69
start: 6.79
start: 6.89
why all of suddun i get 5.9?
Is this a perl problem?
im using cygwin version 1.5.24
perl -v:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int
(with 8 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Im still unsure of your exact process here, but It is my understanding that sshd needs to be able to access /var/empty and /var/log. so if you want ssd to run as a service as a user account other than the system account, /var/log and /var/empty need to be accessible by that user as well. Im not exactly sure why though, I have no idea what /var/empty is supposed to be for or what it does. -- 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/

Thanks! It took me a week to figure out how to set up up cron correctly! first you had to learn how to setup logging correctly just for the chance that you might catch some kind of useful error message, then you had to setup an e-mailer correctly, and if you didn't cron wouldn't tell you that, it would just stop the command after some random amount of time has passed. >_< /usr/bin/cronlog is a "poor man's mailer" that writes cron output (if any) to HOME/cron.log. HOME can be superseded in the crontab file. The temporary output of /usr/bin/cronlog is written to /tmp/cron.XXX.log and /tmp/cron.XXX.log.err. These files are deleted if all goes well but can provide useful debugging information if HOME/cron.log cannot be written (e.g. on some network drives). /usr/bin/cronlog can be edited to suit particular needs. but, can't we put all the logs in the same place like /var/log by default? You probably have a good reason to stick it in HOME, I just thought I'd put the question out there. -- 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/

Okay I got it to work and am posting how i did it incase some poor
soul like myself runs into the same problem.
1) use the setup.exe to install the syslog-ng package
2) run: $/usr/bin/syslog-ng-config
follow the prompts and install as a service
3) read the help on the syslog-ng.conf (man syslog-ng.conf)
define sources, destinations, filters(if necessary) and connect
them with "log" statements
3) edit the /etc/syslog-ng.conf file and add the following source:
udp(ip("127.0.0.1") port(514)); # ip: localhost, port 514 is
syslog, look in /etc/services for definitions of other ports
4) remember to hook up the source to a destination (like messages)
5) save, and start the syslog-ng service (cygrunsrv -S syslog-ng)
troubleshooting:
If the service fails to start make sure that SYSTEM or whoever you run
the syslog-ng service as can read/write /var/log/syslog-ng.log.
if the service starts but is not logging messages, restart the service
with the -d arguement (debug) and run a tail -f /var/log/syslog-ng.log
to see more helpful messages as they appear.

The scripts that give me problems are packages (like the configure script for subversion 1.4x, before the cygwin release) and simple bash scripts i created in VIM 7 to just change directories and run perl scripts both had this dos line endings problem. all of my mounts are mounted binmode. Is there a utility like a hex editor for cygwin that can check files for the "\r" line endings? -- 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/

I would have never known that, now, can i run d2u on every file in my installation? it seems some scripts call other scripts and then those fail. is it safe to run d2u on everything? -- 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/
bash scripting problem
while trying to run some configure scripts i get this error:
: command not found3:
./configure: line 21: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'/configure: line 21: `elif test -n "${BASH_VERSION+set}" &&
(set -o posix)>/dev/null 2>&1; then
additional I have written a simple script that consits solely of:
cd /path/to/project
/usr/bin/perl /path/to/script/script.pl
cd /path/to/project2
/usr/bin/perl /path to/script/script.pl
...
for every single line of that script, i get the error :command not found...
but it executes anyway, even though it says there's an error, it still works!
is there a problem with the shell i am running? i set SHELL=/bin/bash in my
.bashrc file.
I am also using the rxvt terminal, my cygwin.bat file looks like this:
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
REM set EDITOR=vi
REM set VISUAL=vi
set CYGWIN=codepage:oem tty binmode title
rxvt -e bash --login -i
thanks for your help.

cron jobs quit after 1 minute
I want to set up a cron job to execute a perl script every day at 4am. I have successfully set up the job so that it will execute the script, the only problem is the script can take a long time to finish, as it does many different tasks. The problem is that after about 1 minute, the script will just stop executing when invoked from the cronjob. does anyone know how to keep the cron service from exiting after 1 minute? thanks -Andrew -- 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/
