Re: 1.7.0: Getting a Windows app to run synchronously to a script from which it is invoked
Lee D.Rothstein wrote: This is in all probability, not a bug. I suspect it falls into CGF's category of works but isn't (wasn't) guaranteed. All of my scripts (developed under Cygwin 1.5 or earlier) that involve a Windows native app use: winapp $(cygpath -w $something) have stopped working properly since I installed Cygwin 1.7. Here's the script I use, FOR EXAMPLE, for invoking Windows Explorer to the current directory or a specified Cygwin directory path, AND that stops further use of the invoked from terminal window, until this Explorer window terminates: #!/usr/bin/bash if [[ -n $1 ]] ; then cd $1 ; fi explorer $(cygpath -w .) Explorer opens okay, but always to the Computer folder, rather than the current working or specified directory. (Yes, I know that there is a special option for Explorer in 'cygstart'. Please read on.) In the special case of the shell, there's also MS's wisdom to consider. To wit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/152457 I found that I can make the above work by replacing the invocation using 'cygpath' with a 'cygstart' initiated invocation without 'cygpath', at all. The problem with this latter fix, however, is that 'cygstart' invokes the Windows app asynchronously to the script in which it is contained. Sometimes I want the script continuance to be tethered to the Windows app, and the only way to do this (that I can see), is to put an otherwise superfluous 'read' statement right after the Windows app invocation. Ugly, and not as obvious, to the user, as the old method. Is there no straight-forward way to invoke a windows app from a script synchronously with Cygwin 1.7? -- 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/ -- Sylvain RICHARD -- 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 tried #3, but the drop-down list of COM ports says ports COM1 - COM23 are (in use), yet only COM1, COM2, COM4, COM5, COM24 and COM25 are in the Device Manager List. The other ports were probably taken by various USB devices I've plugged in at one time or another but am no longer using. Open Device Manager, and click on Show Hidden Devices on the View menu. Click on the Ports (COM LPT) subtree, and look for greyed out ports. On each of the greyed out ports, right click and choose Uninstall.

Most probably, the X server you started is still running and the new one can't listen on :0. You can check this by looking for an X icon in the system tray (close to the time, usually bottom right of your screen). You can use this server, just set the DISPLAY variable correctly. You can kill the server with a right click and the appropriate menu option. For the generics of using X, you had better read some generic nix documents as: - X works the same on cygwin as anywhere else -there is currently no cygwin maintainer for cygwin/X anyway.

If it's a once in a (PC's) lifetime job, then the knoppix offline way is the better way. The only guarantee M$ makes regarding shadow copy for non shadow copy awareapplications is that you get the same data that would reside on the disk after a PC crash. I got burnt when ntbackup copied an in-use svn repository (the with the Berkeley db backend). Any knoppix will do, you don't need the DVD. Just: 1) use hdparm to make sure DMA mode is enabled; 2) use fdisk to repartition your removable hardrive, creating a partition of same exact size as the old partition; 3) use dd_rescue to copy the whole partition. I suggest dd_rescue over dd because it will handle read errors graciously. Hint: specify the soft blocksize big enough to use caching (say around 4M). Setting it too high will cause floating point exceptions I've never really wanted to debug; 4) Enjoy. Note that the 3rd step may take some time. But you will get maximum performance from linear access and no other program trying to access the drives concurrently. OTOH, this method is certainly not the best if you need to copy say 4GB of data from a 150GB partition.

Re: I'm having a weird problem w/ cygwin not working on some machines...
FH wrote: Recently we've started running into an unusual problem in the sense that the X server seems to have stopped working, at least w/ some machines. What I mean is everything starts up ok on the windows machine and when you login to some unix machines it works fine; login, set up the display variables, type xterm and the window open. However on other machines you can go through the same process and the xterm (or any other app/window) never shows up on the windows machine. Could you elaborate on the set up the display variables part? You shouldn't have to do anything as you use ssh. As you said you were not an X person, here is how I would do it. On the windows side, DISPLAY is set by the shell script used to start Xwin (startxwin.sh or startxwin.bat). Then, you get an xterm where DISPLAY is :0.0 (or localhost:0.0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0). From there, ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] will get you to the remote prompt with a twist. Ssh sets up a tunnel *and* sets DISPLAY to something like :10.0 *and* sets up proper authorization. When an X client (an app) runs, it talks to the linux side of the tunnel and everything is sent to the windows X server through the tunnel. If ssh works, you do *not* have to worry about firewall problems. In particular, notice that you *never* set the DISPLAY variable by hand. You *never* use xhost. It just works (TM). And it is secure. My suggestions: - You can check the value of DISPLAY at different steps of the procedure (set | grep DISPLAY) ; - You can add -vv to the ssh command ; - You can use a network sniffer (wireshark/ethereal) ; - You should post your cygcheck results.

I do have a partial local copy of the archives. But the [mbox-formatted archive (xxx Kbytes)] link is gone and there is no such thing as ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/mail-archives/ (or any /cygwin/mail-archives/ directory on the mirror I use [mirrors.kernel.org]). And I never heard of skipmung.
