Is cygipc still needed for PostgreSQL 7.3.2
I noticed the cygutils page said that most of the packages were obsolete. At this current moment, using the latest released cygwin, do I still need cygipc for postgres?

Re: locate and it's db
It was I who came up with that dirty substitute. It's worth noting that it doesn't do anything the *real* updatedb script does like pruning and ignoring /tmp and the like. Also, you'll have to mkdir /usr/var in your cygwin installation unless you set the LOCATE_PATH environment variable. -rgm At 04:54 PM 05.15.2002 -0700, Ghosty wrote: >try this: > >alias updatedb='find / -name "*" | /usr/libexec/frcode > /usr/var/locatedb >&' > >I found this somewhere, I forgot where, so I can not give the credit to the >author. > >-- >Ghosty -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Processes forking on their own?
Sorry, I should have clarified - for some reason controlling windows close themselves without me touching them. I have a script which called a batch file. This batch file has: bash --login -c "/usr/local/bin/db.sh start" and db.sh has something like: pg_ctl %1 But everything seems to come up quickly, and die. Double click batch file, cmd loads bash, which loads script, which loads postmaster and then everything goes away, without any interaction from me. The postmaster.log file shows no issues starting up. I *don't* believe that this is specifically related to PostgreSQL because I've had other system weirdness, and these scripts work fine for me elsewhere. But thanks for the info on SIGHUP - I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm not closing the windows myself. Actually, I had to add a "while(1) sleep 10" loop to another one of my scripts to keep it from going away and all the processes it starts from going away. -rgm At 10:14 PM 05.09.2002 +0100, you wrote: >> Some of my shell scripts on Windows 2000 Server (NTFS partition) seem to >be forking their commands. >> This has the effect of everything in a script trying to run at once, which >royally screws up dependencies.

Processes forking on their own?
Some of my shell scripts on Windows 2000 Server (NTFS partition) seem to be forking their commands. This has the effect of everything in a script trying to run at once, which royally screws up dependencies. This seems to only happen sometimes. All in all, general system behavior is bad. Worse yet and perhaps unrelated: when starting a process which forks itself, when the controlling window closes, that process dies too (pg_ctl start). I can't seem to keep my database up unless i avoid using pg_ctl. This seems to only be a problem on this particular Windows 2000 Server computer with NTFS partitions. Everywhere else in the company we use W2K Pro / FAT, and I've never seen such weirdness. Has anyone else noticed behavior like this?

Re: Why did you guys break EVERYTHING...
Well Barry, I understand you're pissed off, but the changes were made for logical reasons. I'm sure that a quick skim of the FAQ would answer most of your questions. And /usr/local/bin is in /usr/local/bin on a windows box, as long as you're running a cygwin shell. Otherwise it's *probably* in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin - that's pretty straightforward. It's worth noting that the windows "find" command can help you locate other things on your computer (like all folders named X11, for example, or all executables named "ls"). If you have specific complains about behaviour in 1.3.10 I'm sure the list could explain why things are done the way they are currently. I personally find it both useful and largely intuitive. Also - your scripts call routines? You mean like, programs? Sounds like you might want to read the documentation for cygpath too. The directory change command is "cd" and check your mount table. -rgm At 03:46 PM 04.19.2002 -0700, you wrote: >I'm sure you won't put this in the "intelligent" question genre but... >I've been using cygwin for years and I brag about it and make all my teammates >install it and make my managers refuse to piss away money on MKS... >Well, I think that party's over.

ipc-daemon doen't start as service on boot on my Windows 2000 server
If you can, please help. I made sure that: - my /bin directory (C:\cygwin\bin) is in your system PATH (e.g. set for the entire system from the My Computer properties) (Chuck msg 9/2001) - The PATH is set correctly (Kurt msg 9/2001) Just for kicks i copied cygwin1.dll to C:\WINNT too - The "Path to executable" in my service properties is listed as: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\ipc-daemon.exe "--service" - I read /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README carefully - It works fine with "net start ipc-daemon", just doesn't start without an error on boot. The error is a timeout error and the follow up error is generic and something like "At least one service failed to start." In the event log I see the timeout and "the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." It also works fine starting it from the service manager manually. - CYGWIN is a system environment variable set to "binmode tty ntsec" (Gerrit P. Haase msg 7/2001) - I removed /tmp/MultiFile* and rebooted to no avail. - PC is a Windows 2000 Server, logging onto - I turned debugging on (Chuck msg 7/2001) and saw nothing helpful. - TightSecurity flag is off - I read all archive messages that came up when "ipc-daemon service" was searched for - the ipc-daemon service has no dependencies (installed with --install-as-service) Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try? thanks. -rgm -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: .bashrc not getting sourced?

minor bug - No ".." directory gives error in ls
In some cases when listing a directory in which there is no parent ls gives an error: ls: ..: No such file or directory If there was no directory then I would expect ".." to refer to "." like it does in the root of a unix partition. Specifically, this happens with network shares. To reproduce: cd //192.168.0.2/shared ls -la Where 192.168.168.0.2 is a server on which you have authenticated yourself or need no authentication, and 'shared' is a directory which has been shared. There should be no other resources available at 192.168.0.2 via CIFS other than the shared directory. -rgm -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Save that to a file ending in .reg and double click on it. WARNING: This will delete

This WON'T work in windows 95, and in Windows 98 you need to use something like:

The REGEDIT4 thing might work in Win2000 too, I didn't try it.

Re: chmod in cygwin

vt100 fonts (box characters) and terminal emulation
In short: What is the path of least resistance to improve the terminal emulation and character display in my cygwin shell window or rxvt? In long: I use a commercial package for SSH called SecureCRT which comes with some fonts called "vt100" that have those nice ncurses line drawing characters in them. It also has what I assume to be the equivalent of a termcap entry for "linux." I am trying to get away from it however. I tried to use 'rxvt -reverseVideo -fn "Terminal" -e bash' and run the ncurses-tests in /usr/bin/ncurses-test-dll/ and was unsatisfied with the results. I tried several other fixed width fonts that were by default on my system. I also tried just the regular cygwin.bat's terminal. Perhaps someone has gotten cygwin shell or rxvt to emulate a linux terminal or xterm better before and can save me some headache?
