bash becomes a directory in win 7? LOL

2010-08-13 Thread mike marchywka
I'm trying to popup new bash windows from a script and getting lots
of wierd problems. First, I seem to have to run the cygwin window as
admin, ok fine I can click on that. After playing around for a while,
I was able to get cmd start bash to run ok but the children seemed to
lose admin startus if I closed the parent. Anyway, at some point they
stopped working
and I checked cygwin/bin and apparently bash was now a directory. If I
copied bash.exe over it things started working again? I moved the old
bash dir to bash_wtf and now if is called bash_wtf.exe and appears
as a dir. Something up with links?


Thanks, pointing out something obvious and stupid is welcome as long
as it fixes the problem, LOL

Sounds like a bug in your scripts or a virus.

A: Yes.

Q: Are you sure?

A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.

Q: Why is top posting annoying in email?
