RE: bash: Word splitting but when?
Not cygwin related. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 3:55 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: bash: Word splitting but when? Hi All, Trying to get the right form of quoting and command substitution with output containing spaces. Given the following two lines in a bash script: x=$(echo '1 2 3 x') y=$(echo '1 2 3 x') According to bash manual: The shell scans the results of parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion that did not occur within double quotes for word splitting. the ouput of $(echo '1 2 3 x') should go through word splitting and x should have the value 1 2 3 x. While y should have 1 2 3 x. This does not seem to be the case, see below some tests. Do you have any idea how the manual shall be interpreted? Cheers, Balazs --- $ cat z x=$(echo '1 2 3 x') y=$(echo '1 2 3 x') echo $x echo $y $ bash -x z ++ echo '1 2 3 x' + x='1 2 3 x' ++ echo '1 2 3 x' + y='1 2 3 x' + echo '1 2 3 x' 1 2 3 x + echo '1 2 3 x' 1 2 3 x --- Relevant sections from the bash manual: EXPANSION Expansion is performed on the command line after it has been split into words. There are seven kinds of expan- sion performed: brace expansion, tilde expansion, parameter and variable expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, word splitting, and pathname expansion. The order of expansions is: brace expansion, tilde expansion, parameter, variable and arithmetic expansion and command substitution (done in a left-to-right fashion), word splitting, and pathname expansion. On systems that can support it, there is an additional expansion available: process substitution. Only brace expansion, word splitting, and pathname expansion can change the number of words of the expansion; other expansions expand a single word to a single word. The only exceptions to this are the expansions of $@ and [EMAIL PROTECTED] as explained above (see PARAMETERS). ... Command Substitution Command substitution allows the output of a command to replace the command name. There are two forms: $(command) or `command` Bash performs the expansion by executing command and replacing the command substitution with the standard out- put of the command, with any trailing newlines deleted. Embedded newlines are not deleted, but they may be removed during word splitting. The command substitution $(cat file) can be replaced by the equivalent but faster $( file). When the old-style backquote form of substitution is used, backslash retains its literal meaning except when followed by $, `, or \. The first backquote not preceded by a backslash terminates the command substitution. When using the $(command) form, all characters between the parentheses make up the command; none are treated specially. Command substitutions may be nested. To nest when using the backquoted form, escape the inner backquotes with backslashes. If the substitution appears within double quotes, word splitting and pathname expansion are not performed on the results. ... Word Splitting The shell scans the results of parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion that did not occur within double quotes for word splitting. The shell treats each character of IFS as a delimiter, and splits the results of the other expansions into words on these characters. If IFS is unset, or its value is exactly , the default, then any sequence of IFS characters serves to delimit words. If IFS has a value other than the default, then sequences of the whitespace characters space and tab are ignored at the beginning and end of the word, as long as the whitespace character is in the value of IFS (an IFS whitespace character). Any character in IFS that is not IFS whitespace, along with any adjacent IFS whitespace characters, delimits a field. A sequence of IFS whitespace characters is also treated as a delimiter. If the value of IFS is null, no word splitting occurs. Explicit null arguments ( or '') are retained. Unquoted implicit null arguments, resulting from the expan- sion of parameters that have no values, are removed. If a parameter with no value is expanded within double quotes, a null argument results and is retained. Note that if no expansion occurs, no splitting is performed. _ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-ussource=wlmailtagline -- Unsubscribe info:

using jvmstat from cygwin
Hi there,
I wonder if I'm the only one who uses jvmstat from cygwin, but anyway, here is
a recipe for using the jvmstat-package from cygwin:
The culprit with not being able to run the standard installed jvmstat-tools on
cygwin is the difference between the cygwin-paths and the windows-paths. One is
able to avoid this if cygwin, jvmstat and java are all installed into the
SystemDrive and are fitted to use the same paths. Here I describe how my
Installation was made to work.
Java (1.5.0 and 1.4.2_05) are on C:\Programme\Java
jvmstat_home is C:\opt\jvmstat and C:\opt\jvmstat-3.0
my jvmstat is version 1.1 for Java 1.4.2. I wasn't able to make the jvmstat 1.1
perfagent and 3.0 (or Java 1.5) interact, so I have them both...
/opt is a directory used by some nonstandard cygwin-apps as bind or agrep, so I
was not able to mount the whole C:\opt...
mkdir -p /opt/jvmstat ; mkdir -p /opt/jvmstat-3.0
mount -sb 'C:\opt\jvmstat' /opt/jvmstat
mount -sb 'C:\opt\jvmstat-3.0' /opt/jvmstat-3.0
/Programme is not used by any cygwin-app, so I figured the easiest method is to
mount the whole thing
mkdir -p /Programme# Your path may be /Program Files ...
mount -sb 'C:\Programme' '/Programme'
On linux/solaris Java usually resides on /usr/lib/java, so why not do this here
too!?
ln -s /Programme/Java/jdk1.5.0 /usr/lib/java
Now prepare the PATH. This method is not the smartest one, but it works.
(Actually I use to set the PATH in /etc/profile.d/env.sh ...)
export
PATH=${PATH/:\/usr\/local\/bin:/:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/opt/jvmstat/bin:}
# Or wherever You want it within Your PATH ... and put it into Your ~/.profile
Another pitfall to avoid is the temp-directory, which can differ between cygwin
and Windows.
This is needed, if You want to watch JVMs running on this PC...
mount -sb 'C:\Temp' /tmp
export TEMP=/tmp
export TMP=/tmp
# Don't forget to set the Windows Environment too (in ... Systemsteuerung =
System aka Control Panel ...)
TMP=%Systemdrive%\Temp
TEMP=%SystemDrive%\Temp
And now everything else works according to the jvmstat-documentation for unix
http://developers.sun.com/dev/coolstuff/jvmstat/docs.html.

RE: rlogind vs. smb
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Howdy! We have some windows machines running Cygwin to which we'd like to connect via rsh. It all works well if the passwd entry's home field points to a local directory, and the .rhosts file in that directory contains the proper values. The accounts are hosted on a linux based file server. The unixes get the home directory via NFS, and the fileserver also shares via samba. If you set the home to //fileserver/share in the cygwin box's /etc/passwd, then .rhosts suddenly stops being valid, and you're asked for a password. What's funny is that if you put the right password in, then a shell is started, and the pwd is the share, and the files therein are available, including .rhosts. So basically: 1. does anybody know why rlogind doesn't like SMB shares? 2. does anybody know where rlogind logs it's complaints to? 3. while we're added, how do you get rlogind to be promiscuous? Or actually, what's the cygwin equivelent of /etc/pam.d/rlogind ? ... What are the permissions of .rhosts on the shares? rshd/rlogind refuses to use them if anybody but the owner has write access! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Your answer confirms my assumption that there are hidden chars trailing the dot: try ls -q cachedmetrics* and use the result to delete... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Baurjan Ismagulov Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: deleting a file ending with a dot Hello, David!

RE: Crash when compiling Sitecopy
Hi Frantisek, try appending c:\cygwin\bin to Your windows PATH environment variable. That should do the job... matthias ... So, now I have the latest cygwin but I can no longer run it from a standard Windows BAT file because it doesn't see cygwin1.dll file (and other DLL files it needs). How to solve this cleanly? Copy the DLLs to \SYSTEM directory? Or is it enough to change the current directory to c:\cygwin\bin before running sitecopy.exe? ... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
RE: Problem with noninteractive bash initialization
Hi Wirawan, the section Invoked non-interactively of http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash-2.05a/html_mono/bashref.html#SEC62; describes the differences to the other forms of invoking bash. There is no reference to the .bashrc startup script. That states only that there is no other invoking of startupscripts than in the sections above. ~/.bashrc IS executed and that IS the prescribed behavior and is has been ever since. You can avoid this by calling bash --norc scriptfile or bash --rcfile rcfile scriptfile. But I think too, it would have been more accurate to mention the invoking of ~/.bashrc explicitly. matthias -Original Message- From: Wirawan Purwanto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 4:38 PM To: Morche Matthias Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem with noninteractive bash initialization Yes, BUT I suppose that the shell used for executing a script is a NON-interactive shell, because it doesn't take _commands_ from the user, rather from the script. Isn't this right? Therefore it does not agree with the prescribed behavior in the documentation.

Subject: Can I read the name of a shell function?
HiYaAll
I have created a lot of functions in my .profile
When I try to read the function name from within the function $0 just
returns bash. Is there any way of reading the functions name??
