Re: Latest Cygwin X hangs when mouse is used to highlight text
See attached log run with XWin -logverbose 3 Only the X System hangs - not the whole PC. Other apps continue to work fine. However, **while** the X system is hung, mintty loses it's cut-and-paste capabilities. Once Windows or I with /bin/kill, stop the X system, mintty can once again cut-and-paste (without any need to restart the app). I did have a system failure caused by a VPN memory clash that caused a blue screen of death and instant system shutdown. It seems my X-Windows problem began after that episode. I don't know if that is germane, but it's all I can think of as a potential causal contributor.

On Sep 14 20:54, Keith Thompson wrote: % cygcheck -c cygwin tcsh Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status cygwin 1.7.5-1 OK tcsh 6.17.00.1-1 OK I've noticed that certain file matching patterns in tcsh under Cygwin are matching more files than they should. In the cases I've noticed, a pattern like *__* or *xx* matches files containing only a single trailing '_' or 'x' character, respectively. I do not see this problem with tcsh 6.17.00 under Ubuntu 9.04, nor do I see it with tcsh 6.17.00 compiled from source under Cygwin on the same system where I see the problem with the Cygwin-provided tcsh. The 6.17.00.1-1 version in the distro has been built from a more recent upstream CVS. The reason was that I added the missing wide char capability for systems with sizeof(wchar_t) == 2 (aka Windows/Cygwin) to tcsh, and I wanted the Cygwin users to get this new capability asap. Unfortunately the bug you're reporting was also part of the CVS version I used to build the Cygwin release version. It has been fixed upstream in the meantime. At least I can't reproduce it with upstream CVS. Apparently tcsh 6.18.00 is due soon, so I just wait until it has been officially released to release a new Cygwin tcsh version as well.

The only potential race I can think of is, if another thread of the same Cygwin process calls SetCurrentDirectory. I'm inclined to let this situation slip through the cracks since SetCurrentDirectory will already mess up a mixed-mode Cygwin process. The wincap.has_transactions () is just for testing. If we can use that code, I would replace is with something like wincap.has_messed_up_cwd_handling() or so. ... I would argue against introducing a race with threads that call SetCurrentDirectory(), for at least the following reasons: 1. The race can be avoided without too much grief. Right. Still, the licensing issue... 2. If a program does violate the rule against calling SetCurrentDirectory() directly (possibly because of some third party DLL being involved), then it could be very difficult to detect the source of the resulting problems. But we're talking about mixed-mode Cygwin apps. They should use the Win32 API with care anyway. And the disconnection between SetCurrentDirectory and chdir already exists if the latter is called at all. [...] 3. The unknown. Hard to argue aginst *that*... Anyway, one other detail: Are races within a pure-Cygwin program are prevented by cwd_lock? I don't see it being locked yet, just initialized. Perhaps the cwdstuff::set patch is not yet written? There's a cwd_lock.acquire and a cwd_lock.release call in cwdstuff::set. There's no such lock when cwdstuff::override_win32_cwd is called from cwdstuff::init, because at the time init is called there's no other concurrent thread running, except for the signal thread.

In the second case, the extra test for executability would be a big performance hit, especially if you call `ls /usr/bin'.

1.7.7-1: tcsh occasionally hanging
Since upgrading to cygwin 1.7 recently I have been experiencing sporadic failures of cygwin tcsh initialization: when opening new shell terminals (I start Cygwin using mintty.exe -e /bin/tcsh) they sometimes hang indefinitely. I have the same cygwin setup installed on two computers (both with Windows XP SP3 32bit), and both of them are experiencing this with different frequencies: for the faster, dual-core PC it happens very rarely, but on the slower, single-CPU one the hanging was almost constant, and disabling my .cshrc script didn't help at all. Using ProcessExplorer I noticed that the hanging tcsh process was also spawning 'cut' and 'sed' processes hanging there (sometimes just one of them, other times both were still there). I did have cygwin 1.7.7-1 at the time I was investigating this, and I was able to isolate the problem to this particular block in the /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh script: if ( -r $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts ) then set f=`cat $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -f 1 -d \ ` /dev/null set f=`cat $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -f 1 -d \ | sed -e 's/,/ /g'` /dev/null set hosts=($hosts $f) endif I do have quite a large list of hosts in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and I want to keep that way. However, in order to prevent tcsh from hanging I had to comment out the block above. Note that on the other, faster PC there was no need to do the same (even though the known_hosts file is about the same size), so my suspicion is that in tcsh with 1.7 there are some issues with pipe handling, perhaps a race condition somewhere that triggers more often on slower PCs. -Geo -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I thought that cygwin .exe magic was only appending when listing a file? If the original file ends in .exe, then cp tries hard to make the target also end in .exe. The .exe magic for invoking 'ls' (instead of ls.exe) will therefore let you also invoke 't' (instead of t.exe), while still letting you run .\t from cmd (where the lack of a .exe suffix would break that attempt).

Behaviours of Terminal Versus Script when using
Hello
Have hunted all over for this one but it seems no one else has reported the
issue - maybe because they don't use the feature or there is something awry
with my installation
I write scripts that dart in and out of databases
I bind my Oracle connection string into a number of variables in my .profile
ORACLE_HOME='c:\\Oracle\\product\\11.2.0\\dbhome_2' export ORACLE_HOME
mydbconn=${ORACLE_HOME}\\bin\\sqlplus -s mydbuser/mydbp...@mydbhost export
mydbconn
so when I want to dart into the database - I perform the following from the
terminal command line
${mydbconn}
SQL
SQL exit
If I have a query I run frequently - I will do something like this
${mydbconn} FINGather
alter session set nls_date_format = '-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss';
select sysdate from dual;
FINGather
The delimiter instructs the terminal to pass all commands between the
FINGather Labels to the program request (sort of piping but not)
This is great and dandy - and works if I type this into the cygwin terminal
manually (or paste, which ever)
When I try this from a script I hit issues. I usually want to catch the
results from the DB query to a file
so - let's call my script mydbtime.sh
The contents of which are as following
#!/bin/bash
echo My DB Time Fetcher /tmp/myresults.txt
date /tmp/myresults.txt
${mydbconn} FINGather /tmp/myresults.txt
alter session set nls_date_format = '-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss';
select sysdate from dual;
FINGather
After editing
chmod 755 mydbtime.sh
To run as standard
./mydbtime
There is a gotcha some where because I know definitely this line is working
when inside a script
The contents of the /tmp/myresults.txt output always shows the results of
the echo command and the date command - but never the results of the
${mydbconn}
${mydbconn} FINGather /tmp/myresults.txt
_
If I remove the date and echo commands out :
#!/bin/bash
${mydbconn} FINGather /tmp/myresults.txt
alter session set nls_date_format = '-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss';
select sysdate from dual;
FINGather
the date stamp and contents of the /tmp/myresults.txt are always refreshed -
just with no results
so I know that ${mydbconn} FINGather /tmp/myresults.txt is
processing
but the results from dbserver are not being passed back - infact - I don't
think it is connecting to DB at all because even a long query completes
immediately.
Presently - to run my scripts I perform the following process
cat mydbtime.sh
Copy and Paste the full contents straight onto the Terminal Command line
This works perfectly
Does anyone have issues with this ?
I have found a workaround that works perfectly - using the supplied minnty
terminal - but was hoping not to build too many dependencies on the cygwin
windows - I will work with minnty - but does anyone know if this is
shipped as standard - because it is not the first shortcut in the Cygwin
folder - had I found this before I would have been singing from the roof
tops at the joy of being able to move away from the MS WIndows CMD terminal
- will support for CMD terminal be dropped or have I landed on a well kept
secret
so two questions
1) Does the MS CMD Terminal support in scripts (presently not in my
installation) - I can't be sure but I think it used to work on older
environment
2) Is minnty a default standard terminal that will ship with all future
builds of cygwin?
Environment Details
Windows 7
Great job guys - love this product - Command Shell is trying to catch up -
think they have a long way to go
Cheers

Re: .exe magic reloaded 2
Greetings, Al! I have another interesting case where .exe magic doesn't work as transparently as one would expect. I have a file python2.6.exe. A script tries to find it with ls python2.?. It is not found. I'm fairly certain, that the script is bugged in this specific case. It should be looking for python2.* instead. Minor version could have any length... potentially. (And yes, I know, there wouldn't be .10 for now) Here the script needs a modification to work with Cygwin, but we can't really say that there is a bug in the script. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 15.09.2010, 21:18 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: .exe magic reloaded 2
1.) When a file is made executable .exe is appended, but only visible from Windows API. How would this work with non-Cygwin programs? They wouldn't be handled under (1). Depends on how you install or mount them. But yes, as a prerequest there would be two types of filessystem handling. The normal windows one, always with .exe suffix stored into the filename of executables. When mounting foreign unix filesystems no .exe magic would be used at all on them.

The problem here is not in the construct. That's a function of the
bash shell, not the terminal window (cmd, mintty), and works the same
way in both.
I'll bet the problem is your $mydbconn variable is not set where you're
trying to run your script. Try this test... in your script, put:
echo mydbconn is set to ${mydbconn}. /tmp/myresults.txt
And run it. I'll bet you'll see mydbconn is set to . which means it's
empty (not set) when using cmd, and is set when using mintty.
The reason is that you put those variable settings in .profile, which is
only used in login shells; and whether a shell is a login shell
depends on how it is invoked; which can differ depending on the terminal
window you use and how *that* is invoked.
Try placing your mydbconn and ORACLE_HOME variable settings into .bashrc
instead of (or in addition to) your .profile; or directly into your script.

I use Oracle's plus80.exe on XP in a cygwin/dash script.
Although I do not use , I feed commands to plus80.exe directly by piping
into it or putting commands into a file and use plus80 @file. In both
cases, I convert to DOS line endings beforehand with u2d -D.
So I'd play with your line endings and see whether that helps. You are
probably giving it a simple \n while sqlplus.exe is looking for \r and/or
\r\n.
Good luck.

Not answering your question (others did), but be aware:
It is a very, very bad idea in general to place a password on the

Do this on your home machine for testing only.

If that doesn't help, we'll need your cygcheck output: run cygcheck -s -v -r cygcheck.out and then send the cygcheck.out file to the list with your next post (*specifically as an attachment, please don't paste the contents into the body of your email*). cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Dave, How did that .out file look?

rpcbind port
Hi Cygwin folk/Charles Wilson, Thanks very much for the work on libtirpc. I've found from reading that there is a port of rpcbind to Cygwin, which compiles, but hasn't been packaged. Rather than re-port the pacakge, I wondered if the port was available as is. I would be happy to assist with testing or perhaps packaging, if that's helpful.

Re: Reinstalled gcc, make, automake: now BASH stackdumps LR
Dave, all: I'm just wondering why bash, or any shell, in Cygwin, or any environment where it was able to run, would bother creating stack-dump files with headers but no data. I haven't got the knowledge to parse and peruse the cygcheck.out file I created, but I did take a close look at my config files (the ones directly related, by name and function as much as I am aware, to bash -- .bash_profile, .bash_aliases and .bashrc). I also discovered that when this one-line stackdump file is created in the special folder I assigned to this batch script I typically use to start rxvt, a totally empty one is created in my home folder. On the Windows side of things, I happen to be experiencing what I've come to call black before claque. It's that long lag of black screen betwee the Windows XP splash fading out and one's login prompt screen coming up. I've read on a few sites that appear to be reputable (perhaps M$ among them) that this is a sure sign that one's boot drive is starting to fail. Could this stackdumping be merely a side effect of that. I started in legacy Mac OS. As boot drives on that side, in those days, failed, even weirder things were bound to happen Imagine every icon in your Apple menu and System Folder going generic but all the other icons everywhere else on the system staying perfectly OK -- until you run Netscape or QuickTime Player -- this was well before iTunes -- and they all cheese out. (Happened.)
