How does one discover a ghost path to non-exitent server

2022-11-27 Thread Harry Putnam
I'm sorry my first post here is probably something that was thrashed out here long ago. I'm not finding the answers on goggle, even the hits that were from this newsgroup. I'm sure there has been plenty of pounding over time about not being able to get a sshd server working on win 10 Running

wrapper os something to call cygwin shell at specific address

2009-07-04 Thread Harry Putnam
I'd like to be able to open a cygwin shell at a specific location from windows explorer. Something like the old windows `power toy' where you could open a windows cmdline shell HERE. I have no scripting skills whatever under windows... not even familiar with batch files and definitely not up on

When sshd is started at /etc/rc.d/init.d .. how to start with windows at bootup

2008-01-26 Thread Harry Putnam

Find tool contained in unknown pkg

2006-03-17 Thread Harry Putnam
I've just installed a very minimal cygwin. I noticed the `id' tool is not present and looking on the packages page I don't see it listed separately so I'm guessing it is contained in a package whos name may not reflect its presence. Anyone know which package that might be? -- Unsubscribe info:
