Re: 1.5.24: rxvt or console fail to shutdown due to ssh -f still running despite setsid()

I have just checked the source for the daemon() function and the setsid executable. They both call fork() and then setsid(). Do the console/rxvt process stick after calling ssh -f because file descriptors are left open? Can you suggest a strategy to deal with this? I'm not running ssh as a

Re: ls output still truncated

Folks I could really use some help here. I still cannot get the ls command to work reliably. Well, I ran sum -r (I'm running cygwin 1.5.24): ~$ sum -r /bin/ls.exe /bin/cygwin1.dll 0875696 /bin/ls.exe 59473 1830 /bin/cygwin1.dll You might do the same and see if there is perhaps a

Re: ls command not outputting file names.

Any other ideas? Anyone? Perhaps your filenames have special characters in them which do funny things to your terminal. Try ls -ad .* * | cat -v. Are the serial numbers on the physical drives unique? From a DOS window, enter dir: Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial

daylight savings in March
