Same irregular pattern of 10 to 20 runs without problem? I haven't run it enough to see clear patterns, but yes, the error occurs in an irregular manner. Since then I have tested this on a fourth machine -- my old machine, with newly installed XP and freshly downloaded Cywin but a slower hard disk -- and I get the same irregular errors there too! No. The actual storage of data is done by the operating system, not by Cygwin, the operating system provides the data even if it hasn't been stored on disk (it could still be in a memory buffer). Okay, thank you for the explanation. The speed is not the problem, it could be the usual suspect: an anti-virus, unlikely because the data written is not executable but it could be adding an extraneous delay between data written and data read. I'll ask the guy who installed the operating systems whether this looks possible. The only solid evidence is the error message from Windows, and it says device, that means that the hard disk is having problems (it could be the driver) but not your script or any program. Did you do anything special to the hard disks on all 3 machines? something like run an optimizer or tune parameters? I'll find out. The other problem could be related to the first, if the disk is failing then creating/moving a file will fail, I'm not sure if permission denied will be the error message but I could test that later (I can make my SATA disk fail using a program that allows the async unbuffered I/O). The /bin/pdksh script sequence that is causing problems is: 1. gawk '$1 !~ /blahblah/' huh2 |/tmp/shf2080.tmp (no error messages) 2. mv /tmp/shf2080.tmp huh2 mv: cannot create regular file `huh2': Permission denied 3. (some other commands in a looping construct) 4. gawk '$1 !~ /blahblah/' huh2 |/tmp/shf2080.tmp gawk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `huh2' for reading (No such file or directory) Sometimes the sequence runs correct. Sometimes it results in a file huh2 with length 0. But the sequence has _sometimes_ resulted in the creation of files such as: - 2007-10-28 20:31 4010 german which _appear_ to have a length of 4010, but where od german shows: 000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 * 0007640 00 00 00 00 00 0007652 I'll get answers to the questions above...

First, cron does not provide you with the exact same set of environment variables that you get when you're in an interactive shell. See the man pages for 'cron' and 'crontab' for more details. This is not a Cygwin-specific issue and as such is off-topic for this list. Second, in Cygwin, cron is run as a service by (typically) the SYSTEM account. If your program requires interaction with the Windows desktop to work, you have to enable this setting on the service. It's probably easiest to do from Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. Go to Services and find the cron service. Double click on it and choose the Log On tab. Check the Allow service to interact with desktop. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Re: Why do file permissions change after editing a file with vim?
I see this with an ARM cross compiler that had to be set to run with admin privileges (or else Vista would prevent it from running). All my generated objects were owned by me, but has zero for the permission mask. So it could be that, or perhaps more likely, that you installed cygwin under a different uid.

RE: cygwin compliation crash when uninstalling the old version of bash - 1 attachment
So, looks like setup wrote the header and then bombed writing the rest of the file. Interesting... do you remember setup crashing (in a different way) on the/a *previous* run before you first saw this problem? cheers, DaveK Nope. I'm pretty sure it just crashed on the bash install. -- 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/

I'll ask the guy who installed the operating systems whether this looks possible. These machines have an anti-virus program, but the same one I have been using for the past two or three years. The filenames either have no extension, or .txt. The only solid evidence is the error message from Windows, and it says device, that means that the hard disk is having problems (it could be the driver) but not your script or any program. Did you do anything special to the hard disks on all 3 machines? something like run an optimizer or tune parameters? I'll find out. The guy who set up the machines did not fiddle with the hard disk at all. Two of the machines were brand-new. On these, he did not touch the hardware - only swapped the installed German-language version of XP for my own version of XP in English. Then I installed Cygwin from the net. I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do next. I use this one script so extensively (50 times per day?) that I would sooner move to a Linux or Macintosh system than continue on Windows without Cygwin - my whole working style depends on it. I work on a laptop with Cygwin and an up-to-date version of XP, and thankfully the script continues to run fine there. Having (seemingly) eliminated SATA/ATA, fast/slow, and old-XP/up-to-date-XMP as possible explanations for the errors, the only really obvious remaining difference between my laptop (where the script works) and the four desktop computers (where the script does not work reliably) is that the four desktop computers have the latest version of Cygwin and the laptop has a version that I have not updated in awhile (and now I do not dare!). I would be grateful if someone could suggest a way to test this. Would it make sense (and is it possible) to replace the Cygwin kernel or the coreutils package (because of mv) with earlier versions and see if the script works then? The version of pdksh is the same between the laptop and the desktops, so I assume this can be eliminated as the cause? The script itself is not long, and the data sets are also just a few pages long, so I could prepare a tar file with a simple test installation if anyone would like to try it on their machines.
