Btw, /etc/inetd.conf doesn't actually come from xinetd and the string /etc/inetd.conf doesn't actually occur in xinetd.lst.gz so this is a very good example of why it is dangerous to roll your own tools if you don't know what is going on. From the above, a novice user would assume that xinetd contained /etc/inetd.conf. /etc/inetd.conf is a generated file so it is not listed in the package lists of any package. -- 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/

Yeah, that's clearly a good reason *not* to use cygcheck at all and to just write your own shell script instead. In fact, the next time someone finds a bug in the cygwin DLL, I'd suggest just writing all of cygwin's functionality as a shell script, just to be safe. 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/

Corinna mentioned the correct command. In general, there is no reason to confuse people who are asking about the proper way to do something by telling them about the low-level nuts and bolts no matter how much the nuts and bolts may fascinate you personally. You might note that Corinna didn't point the OP to the cygcheck or setup sources, although she is familiar with each. >--> This was just thought as some sort of background information hint about >where this information is actually stored. Especially because it's stored >human-readable. Again, there was really no clue that the OP needed or wanted anything other than a pointer to the correct tool. You can be assured that cygcheck will always be able to display the current packages but the location of /etc/setup and other details like that are subject to change. There's no reason to potentially confuse the OP or future archive divers who are looking for information like this since we make no guarantees that /etc/setup will always be there. 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/
