Here's what I ended up doing (the permissions were 777 on the directory) cat "$(cygpath -u "$(cat /etc/setup/last-cache)")/ftp%3a%2f%2fsourceware.org%2fpub%2fcygwinports/setup.ini" | \ sed -e "/^setup-timestamp:/ s/ \(.*\)/ $(date +%s)/"> \ "$(cygpath -u "$(cat /etc/setup/last-cache)")/ftp%3a%2f%2fsourceware.org%2fpub%2fcygwinports/setup.ini"
Ive done some reading on the sed command. It seems calling the sed command with the -i flag launches another process, that in some cases problems as documented by others. Although the above command is more complex, it basically passes everything in a series of pipes, avoiding the -i flag. -- Kevin Hilton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
