multiprocessor machines and nobody seems to care about it. You cannot just expect people to wait until you someday have a system that shows the problem everytime they encounter a bug. Actually since Cygwin is a free project this is a reasonable expectation. If you want this fixed send the

I need a korn shell that will handle the windows-like path names (pdksh), and where read executes in the same shell that called it (ksh '93). Keep wishing. There are other ways of doing what you need to do with sqlplus without using a pipe and read. -- Unsubscribe info:

Why would ksh behave differently under Cygwin than under Solaris? cygwin ksh is pdksh. The specific set of code you gave does not work in pdksh. Read about it here: http://web.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/ Its weak points are that there are still a few differences from ksh88 (the major one is that

I get many permissions denied failures when using rsync to copy my home directory to a network drive. I can't detect while rsync is complaining. The only thing that I don't know is why the file /cygdrive/c/home/sql/tmp/874677 have a '+' at the end of the mod. What does this mean? $

Rsync works perfectly everytime from the command line, but sometimes after the rsync operation completes when it is run using a script/scheduler, I get this error and rsync sits running (hung) till I manually kill it. rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /tmp/rsync-

Hmm? Is waitpid() a blocking call or not? WRT WNOHANG it looks like an unblocking one... Yep. Thus I'm assuming it doesn't block and that msleep() is something internal to rsync, using usleep() or some such. It uses select(). When I used strace on a non-modified version of rsync to

Hi all, I was attempting to use rsync (v 2.5.6) to copy one local directory to another on my machine (Windows XP) today when I experienced the dreaded hang. It copied the files, and hung waiting for a child process to exit. When I killed that process using taskmgr, the parent exited OK. The

Rick has good advice - I fall for that one every time I install Cygwin on a fresh win install. If your printer is lpr compatible you can get LPRng from www.lprng.com - I did the initial porting and as far as I know it still should compile out of the box with the following settings: ./configure
