Larry I think I figured it out and it has nothing to do with Cygwin.  I noticed my 
Task Manager was taking over 50% CPU whenever I had it open.  When it wasn't open I 
did not experience this drain on the CPU.  Anyway I decided to defrag my memory using 
this command using the Windows Scripting Host:

MyString = Space(12800)

This is in a VBS file I call memory.vbs.  It releases memory.  It is accessed like 
this in the Windows Commnd Prompt:

cscript memory.vbs

When I did that I got cscript is not an internal command.  That is not good.  It meant 
my ccript.exe was missing.  Well sort of.  After investigating this I noticed I had a 
new Service and new user accounts in my Server.  Sure enough something was uploaded 
into my system directory.  It is a variant of ServU which is commonly used by hackers. 
 They used it in conjunction with:

hidden32.exe
CsC.exe
ip.exe
jacheck.dll
jastat.dll
nc.exe
WSManager32.exe (camouflaged ServU) (runs as a service)
sec.exe
pwdump2.exe
sc.exe
hxdef100.exe
samdump.dll
uptime.exe
psinfo.exe
kill0103.exe
psloggedon.exe
fport.exe
hxdefdrv.sys

There are two more services that also run.  I looked at the ini used to set it all up 
and so knew where to look.  I believe it happened due to the Windows Media Service 
because now that is broke.  I removed it.

I found these because I knew the time the issue above started and I was able to see 
the new files created in my System directory around that time.

Anyway I noticed the issue with Cygwin at about the same time.  I have cleaned these 
things out and voila Cygwin is fine now.

Thanks for looking into this with me.

 OK, well if you actually changed absolutely *nothing* relative to Cygwin 
 then your problem lies elsewhere.  As for your 'cygwin.bat' file, that's 
 fine.  It works fine for me with minor edits to make it conform to my
 environment.  The only suggestion I'll make beyond looking at other areas
 in your system is to try running 'cygwin.bat' from a DOS command prompt
 window.  If you can reproduce the problem there, there may be some output
 that would help you zero in on the issue.

You can tell after I ran cygwin.bat once I did not go into the cygwin application but 
instead went right into C:\cygwin\bin

After getting back to C:\cygwin I ran cygwin.bat again and this time the application 
Cygwin did fire up.  So it seems the initial call to cygwin.bat is NOT firing up the 
application but instead is just causing a cd change to C:\cygwin\bin.  I don't think 
that is right.

Cygwin finally croaked

2004-10-24 Thread George Hester
I installed cygwin version.  Not sure of the version but somtime at beginning of this 
year 2004.

I never really use it except for the whois functionality.  A few days ago I noticed 
when I first double click on the icon on my Windows 2000 SP3 desktop the console comes 
up and disappears.  I have to double-click again and it comes up stays and I can do 
the whois.

Then sometimes the console does not receive keyboard input.  I shake my desktop around 
a little bit spit left roll my eyes and it starts to receive input and I can logout.

Is there a shelflife to Cygwin?  Seems so here.

 On a more serious note, if any of the above behavior really does help in 
 some way, I suspect a hardware problem.  But if you feel that the problem
 is with your Cygwin installation, I'd recommend reviewing:

 No, that's not it.  Java replaces dots by slashes internally, so the above
 is a perfectly valid error message -- it really cannot find the class.
 
 What's wrong is that you supply the classpath as a POSIX path, and java,
 not being a Cygwin application, doesn't understand this path.  You need to
 convert the path to a Win32 path using cygpath.  For automatic conversion,
 search the archives for java wrapper scripts.

 I suspect that what happened was: the files got created when you ran httpd

Hi Igor.  Crap I messed up in my last post.  Please do not read it.  It will
only upset you.

I got the service to exist in the Services applet with:

$cygrunsrv -I Apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto

but it does not behave as a normal service.  A normal service set to auto
will start with no user intervention at boot.  But that is not the case here.
I still have to fire up Cygwin into the bash shell from the desktop.  And since
I have to do that I see no real benefit in running the above Apache as
a service.  Should I start Cygwin as a Service also?

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.

2004-03-21 Thread George Hester
Yes I do.

So I followed the directions.  It said you must run httpd as root initially.
  To do this make a change so that I have,  User Guest. 
 Of course no one in their right mind enables the Guest account 
but I went ahead and left my Guest account alone 
(the directions did not say to enable that account) and made the entry directed.

Then the directions say, To install and start the HTTP daemon as Windows service use 
this command: 
  
  $ cygrunsrv -I httpd -d CYGWIN httpd (apache) -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -a -F 
  $ cygrunsrv -S httpd 

So I went ahead and did that.  The Service is now in my Services applet set to start 
automatically at boot.
  This looks alittle suspicious to me since the $cygrunsrv -S httpd will NOT occur at 
boot 
but hey I'm just following the directions.

I rebooted and the Apache server was not working.  I had to fire up Cygwin off my 
desktop into
 the bash shell and
$/usr/sbin/apachectl start to get the server running.

Again this is not the normal way of a service at boot.  It doesn't work.

Any other suggestions to get the Apache server to start as a service in the normal way?

This command line in the Bash shell:

java -cp /files/jini1_2/lib/jini-ext.jar:/files/jini1_2/lib/jini-examples.jar

becomes

java -cp /files/jini1_2/lib/jini-ext.jar:/files/jini1_2/lib/jini-examples.jar

and so of course error is

Exception in thread main

What is wrong wiith Cygwin's usage of the java command console?  How do I convince 
Cygwin that I mean

and not

$cygrunsrv -R httpd
cygrunsrv: Error removing a service: OpenService: Win32 error 1060:

Removing the service is not the issue.  I have done that.  What I would like to do is 
remove everything and anything that has anything to do with Apache in Cygwin.  Can 
this be done?

Actually I think we can just forget this Ivan.  I have wasted Cygwin's ability to use 
and start the Apache server.  I don't feel like fighting with it anymore.  The 
directions all they resulted in was a perfectly fine running Apache server turning 
into wasted space in the Cygwin folder.  Now I just want all of it out.

Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 George,
 
 Use a little judgement.  For example, I run httpd as nobody (a new user
 I created for just that purpose).  I also used the -t manual cygrunsrv
 parameter, which means I have to start httpd manually (which suits me
 fine).  You can use -t auto instead if you want the service to be
 started at boot (when, in fact, something like cygrunsrv -S does
 happen).  The reason you need cygrunsrv -S in the instructions is that
 simply adding the service, even with -t auto, won't start it in the
 current session.
 
 As for your apache not working, see if there are any messages in
 /var/log/httpd.log, /var/log/apache/error_log, and the Windows Event log.
 It's likely either a permissions problem, or a problem with httpd.conf
 syntax.
 
 As a datapoint, try removing the service and starting httpd from the
 command line with the exact same flags as cygrunsrv starts it with (i.e.,
 -F).  This will at least eliminate httpd.conf syntax (if the service
 starts correctly).  For a more definite experiment, try running it from a
 system-owned shell.

Is all I have to do to remove Cygwin from Windows 2000 Server SP3
 is remove any and all cyg*.* files from C:\WINNT\sytem32 and
delete the C:\cygwin folder?

Basically Thorsten you are telling me to get a different newsreader.  The stuff
you are having trouble with I do not do intentionally.

I try to make things better for you.
But sometimes I forget.  Please understand
I am NOT doing this to you intentionally.
It is a result of this newsreader.

Note complaining about my newsreader could also
be said of those used here where this 
issue comes up.  I am trying.

 Apache comes with the index.html page in multiple languages.  It selects
 the page to display based on your browser's accepted language preference.
 Try telnetting to the apache port and requesting 'GET / HTTP/1.0', and see
 which page is returned.
 Igor
   
OK Igor I can try that.  I actually have a few language prefs in my
browser.  I suppose if I remove the non-English ones that may fix it.
But you know this is not right.  Apache should pull out the language
pref from the top which is English (US) in my case en-us.  There must be
a setting that is incorrect where the Apache is looking at 2nd 3rd pref
instead of 1st pref.
  
   I've just verified that Cygwin's Apache (which is version 1.3.29) doesn't
   recognize en-US (but does recognize en).  This may be a bug in
   Apache...
  
Let me see what happens when I remove the other language prefs...yup
that did it.  The secondary and tertiary language prefs are interfering.
  
   Try adding en after en-US...
  
Another thing I am noticing.  When I start the Apache server logout no
lomger works in Cygwin.  The bash shell just hangs.  In fact it has hung
through the entire write of this post.  I have to kill the Cygwin
session by X the command console window.
  
   I don't see this on Win2k SP3, Cygwin 1.5.8.  But then, I run apache as a
   service.  You didn't provide enough information to allow others to attempt
   to reproduce this.  Please review the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines
   at http://cygwin.com/problems.html and try again...  Make sure to
   provide the exact sequence of actions that results in the hang.
   Igor
 
  Lets see:
 
  I double-click the Cygwin icon on the desktop.  I go into the default
  bash shell.  I type \usr\sbin\httpd I then try logout and Cygwin hangs.
 
 Please pay attention to details -- typing \usr\sbin\httpd will not even
 start Apache in a bash shell; you'd need to type /usr/sbin/httpd for that
 (note the forward slashes).  Also, httpd with no options forks and puts
 itself in the background, but, on some OSes may still be attached to the
 originating console (which is what you see -- bash has exited, but the
 *console window* that ran bash cannot exit because of httpd running).
 Since you haven't told us what version of the OS you're trying this on, we
 can't guess what the problem or the possible solutions might be.
 
  Not sure of the version of Cygwin...I think it just updated when I ran
  setup a moment ago.
 
 As specified in http://cygwin.com/problems.html, the way to report the
 version of Cygwin (along with the OS version and enough details about your
 installation to try reproducing your problem) is to attach (as an
 uncompressed text attachment) the output of cygcheck -svr to your
 message.
 
  I'll try changing to en with the other language prefs and see if there
  is a change.

Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.

2004-03-20 Thread George Hester
According to the documentation of starting the Apache web server as a service in 
cygwin the generic formula is:

$ cygrunsrv -I service_name-p /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.exe [-a arguments] \
  [-e VAR=VALUE] [-t auto|manual] [-u user] [-w passwd]

So I did this in the bash shell:

$cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto

Same thing with:
$cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe-t auto

The result was the error I posted in the subject.  What did I do wromg?

Process of Installation?

2004-03-19 Thread George Hester
When I run the setup for Cygwin I go through various dialog boxes to download and 
install various packages.  All the packages come in as name.tar.bz2 files.  Consider 
this package:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28862

The files here are in the form name.tar.gz.  What I did was ungzip the package and 
recompress it as a bz2 file.  What I'd like to do is use the same sequence of events 
that Cygwin uses to install the name.tar.bz2 files downloaded from Cygwin setup to 
install my newly formed bz2 file as I just described.  But I don't know the process 
(the sequence of events) that Cygwin uses on the bz2 files to install the modules.

So I am asking what that sequence of events are and if it is possible to manually 
install a package such as the above using the same sequence of events as are used 
through the Setup interface?  Thanks.

 But seriously, after you get to that point and have configured your web

 $ cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -d Apache for Cygwin -f 
 Apache Web Server running under Cygwin -a -F
 
 The -a -F part tells Apache to do the right thing WRT running as a 
 service. Then start it with
 
 $ net start apache
 
 Oh and you probably should first add C:\Cygwin\Bin to your Windows 
 system environment variable PATH (I stick it in the front) and reboot

  What's the difference between running an executable in the cygwin

  that I've compiled that runs just fine under cygwin, but 
  crashes with a
  stack violation whenever I run it under a DOS window on the

  There's really no significant difference, assuming your DOS 
  shell can see cygwin1.dll and it's the same one you get when 
  you run under your Cygwin shell (having more than 1 
  cygwin1.dll on your system is a *very* bad idea anyway).  
  Certainly, there can be all kinds of differences in the 
  environment, literally, but it should be pretty obvious if 
  you're dependent on some environment variable or something 
  that's not set for Windows.  Maybe you just need to debug it 
  and see where the problem is and why you get it.  
  Like I said, objcopy that comes with Cygwin's binutils works 
  just fine for me outside of a Cygwin shell so it's not a 
  problem with the tool in general.

   I think you may slightly underestimate the amount of difference it makes.
 For example, it's going to make a big difference to the runtime memory
 layout.  If you run under bash you're going to have a whole load of posix
 environment vars at the very top of your runtime stack.  I could easily
 imagine a stray pointer or stack smashing bug that harmlessly scribbles on
 the environment vars under bash but writes over what is active program stack
 at the same address / offset-from-sp when run from dos.  However, I agree
 with your conclusion: any *correct* program should run equally well under
 either, and I think in this case it's not that running under DOS breaks the
 program, but that it just happens to get lucky and work by chance under
 bash.
 
 
  My makefile does the same thing as the objcopy
  makefile, but the result of my compilation is something that 
  only works under cygwin.
 
   That's quite an assertion to make!  How did you generate your makefile,
 and how can you be really sure it's doing exactly the same?
 Autoconf-produced makefiles are fairly hairy; if you've hacked up the
 autoconf one, you're probably in the clear, but if you've tried reading the
 autoconf one and duplicating it's effects from scratch, you may easily have
 introduced a discrepancy.  However, that's a side issue; it's unlikely to be
 a compiler option that's causing your problem.
 
   The fact that it's hanging in malloc suggests that it's very likely that
 the root cause of the crash is trashing the heap, most likely by writing
 past the end of a malloc'd block of memory.  Beyond that it's difficult to
 speculate, particularly since we don't really have any idea what sort of
 changes you've made to the code.  You should investigate any of the changes
 you've made that refer to arrays or malloc'd memory, or perhaps use some
 kind of error-checking malloc wrappers - e.g. efence,
 http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ (ftp site currently down, it seems) or
 http://freshmeat.net/projects/efence/?branch_id=2277release_id=7043 .
 
   Of course it's always possible that it's not the code you've changed that
 is overwriting memory but something elsewhere by means of some indirect and
 unexpected interaction.  Those are the worst kinds of bugs to look for, but
 malloc-wrappers might still help.
 
   How big are the changes you've made to the source?  Minor overhaul or
 radical surgery?

Re: cygwin's emacs

2004-03-10 Thread George Hester
OK someone sent me a FAQ which did do the trick.  In the cygwin.bat file in C:\cygwin 
I entered this before the call to the bash shell:

Set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob

Are there any gotchas here?  tty seems amenable enough as does notitle.  But the one 
that has me worried is glob.  I don't want my cygwin globbing anything into Not 
Working if I can help it.  Thanks.

 Either set the environment variable CYGWIN=tty prior to running any

I been trying for years using various cvs managers and have never liked any I have 
tried.  But I decided to see what Cygwin had to offer.  I saw it in there and so 
installed cvs.  This CVS was the most pleasant experience I have ever had with CVS.  
Thank you all for putting the time and effort into this application Cygwin.  It has

Sorry about that.  Tell me if this is better.
Yes I could tell Cygwin under cygcheck -s was retrieving more information
then was in the download.  I did have it set to full.
So I don't know what more I could have gotten.
The result was as I showed.  So you think some of the items
I mentioned as Not Found should have been found choosing Full
in the Setup?  Hmmm

  I find there are a few things not found.
 
  1) cpp (good!)
  2) gcc

  What are these?  Why is cpp Not found (good)?  What does that mean?
 
  I downloaded and installed all the options so why are some things Not

 The cygcheck program in its -s mode (system information) was designed to
 cram as much useful information about your Cygwin installation as possible
 into its output, to help others in diagnosing and/or reproducing your
 problems (and, hopefully, eventually fixing them).
 
 The installed programs part of the output attempts to list some common
 programs that people usually ask about.  This helps in situations where
 some other version of gcc hides the Cygwin version, for example, and
 people complain that gcc doesn't work.  The fact that the programs are or
 aren't found on your system shouldn't bother you unless you need to use
 one of them.  All four of the programs that you listed are development
 tools to let you build and debug programs.
 
 Frankly, I have no idea why cpp not found is (good!).  Perhaps it used
 to be that the gcc package hid cpp in its special directory, and you
 weren't supposed to invoke it directly, but rather by passing an option to
 gcc.  AFAICS, the current package ships with that program, so perhaps that
 note is outdated and should be removed.
 
 Since these programs are in the official Cygwin packages, you, apparently,
 haven't installed everything (which is what I read your all the options
 to mean).  If you want to see exactly what you've installed and what's
 available, run setup.exe and switch the view to Full (using the button
 on the top right of the package selection page).  You will see information
 about all the packages in the distribution.  I can't really tell you more
 about your system, since you haven't attached the output of cygcheck
 -svr as requested in http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
 
 As for whether you *should* find them, that's entirely up to you.  If
 you don't know what gcc is, likely you won't need it.  If you install a
 package that requires it, hopefully that package will either pull it in or
 complain the first time it tries to use it, at which point you'll know you
 need to install it (and will be able to find it on the Cygwin package
 search page at http://cygwin.com/packages/).  Until then, don't bother.
 
 HTH,
 Igor

Hi Igor.

Thanks for not browbeating me.  You would be amazed at the anathema newbies 
such as myself often generate.

I see all the stuff now.  I have to decide what I want.  I am concerned
that say if I get a C compiler and headers it could interfere with the one
I have.  Same thing with make.  Mine's called nmake so not sure.

Well I'm in no rush so I'll step lightly.  Thanks for your help.

 which I initially referred you to request that the output of cygcheck

 than included inline, to avoid producing false positive hits in mailing
 list archive searches.  The recipe there also helps ensure that you
 include the full output of cygcheck -svr, which you didn't, BTW.  It was
 enough for our purposes, though, as it confirmed my guesses: the list of
 packages shows that you only have the very basic set installed.  There are
 many more packages available -- you can see the full list of packages in
 the Full view of setup, or by visiting http://cygwin.com/packages/.

 Hmm.  Recently we had an NT system which was frequently BSOD'ing
 (not Cygwin-related).  It had Norton Systemworks installed.
 When this was uninstalled, the problem went away.  I suspect
 the file deletion recovery extensions were to blame.

 If you are having stability problems with any Windows product,
 it is adviasable to (a) (as Chris suggested) ensure you have
 the latest service packs/hotfixes/security upgrades and
 (b) remove or disable any 3rd party software which runs

Re: I am not going to let cygwin BSOD my Windows 2000 Server

2002-04-21 Thread George Hester

Got you.  I don't recall if a reboot was necessary.  All I remember was that
the Cygwin installation didn't work.  I then rebooted hoping then it would
work.  It didn't I BSOD'd.  Now that was in Windows 2000 Professional which
is doing very well now thank you.  I was going to put Cygwin in Windows 2000
Server and I was going to try it without the automatic installation in the
setup routine.  So I asked here and have been met with many an encouraging
and discouraging response.  I suppose that's the Way of The World.

 What the blazes are you talking about?

 My suggestion was that Norton or McAfee (and the likes) may be the cause
of
 your (or others') problems.  They have certainly been known to cause BSODs
 when they are active during installs of Cygwin and of other software.

 I'm afraid that after all the mails on this subject I'm still
 unclear about what your problem is.  The nearest I can come to it is
 that long ago you tried installing Cygwin, and your system BSOD'd when
 you rebooted it.  And therefore you are refusing to even countenance
 using setup.exe ever again.  I must have this wrong, since it is
 somewhat illogical.  It seems noone else has seen such behaviour, which
 does suggest that it may be your system rather than Cygwin setup.exe
 which is to blame, yet you seem to go ballistic at this suggestion.

 Why, incidentally, did your system need a reboot after installing
 Cygwin?  This is not normally necessary - Cygwin does not install
 any system components.  It is one of the least intrusive software
 packages I know of.

 Nevertheless if you wish to install Cygwin on your server without
 using setup.exe, then it is possible, and if you're prepared to
 put in a little research you should be able to find out how.
 What you won't find is much in the way of support on this list.

Re: I am not going to let Cygwin BSOD my Windows 2000 Server

2002-04-21 Thread George Hester

Have mercy upon me please.OK I'll come clean.  This was so long ago (18 mos)
that I don't really remember what exactly happened.  But I do know that it
didn't work.  I have the old Cygwin CD package which I bought from Cygwin.
I took the one I downloaded and installed from Redhat and removed it.  I am
not going to go into what I had to do to remove it it was too long ago.  I
then installed the one from the CD.  That one didn't work either.  I then
installed the CD Cygwin in Windows 98 and it worked about 98% wasn't too
bad.

So to be as staright as I can, Cygwin in Windows 2000 Professional failed 18
mos ago.  Over that time I believed it failed BSOD.  But as I said I may be
wrong about that.

Although I asked for what I thought would be an easy enough request, I find
that I must have hit a nerve.  Could be what I asked for or how I asked for
it.  The former I know what's necessary now the later sorry.

 I realize that at one time setup.exe might not have been all that it was

 do not jump back in the flames.  Well I decided I would stick my little
toe
 in again and see the results.  I really thought there would be manual
 install literature because of the way setup.exe let me download these
files.
 I had to un bzip2 them; ungz them; untar them and they are now sitting
here
 ready to be installed.  So I went looking for that Manual install.

 Yeah right.  So I wrote here.  A few people have written to me telling me
 that I am too dense to do it this way.  No I like to keep my little toes.
I
 only have a few you know.

 This software I was going to use to help build a Mozilla browser.  If I
can
 find some other way of making one that I'll do.  But I was hoping
literature
 of a Manual Install was available.  It seems it isn't.

 Suggestion.  Let's consider a Manual Install Direction for us weenies that
 lost a few toes trying to install this software in the past.

 Thanks.

Re: Where is the manual to manually install cygwin in Windiows 2000

2002-04-20 Thread George Hester

Could you give the CVS commands to get the source of the setup?  I am
thinking this is the only way I can do what this post is asking.  At least
that is my understanding.  Thanks.

 CVS is no choice, because of a firewall.


 No, CVS is it.


 Is there a possibility to start setup.exe in
 batchmodus, so cygwin could be installed an a lot
 of machines remotly?

 You're making things way too hard for yourself.  Just run setup.exe
 and select Install rather than Download.  Then everything will
 be installed automatically.  You don't have to unzip/bunzip anything
 by hand.  setup.exe has *never* required a manual step like this.

Re: I am not going to let cygwin BSOD my Windows 2000 Server

2002-04-20 Thread George Hester

Sort of.  Maybe it does work for 99% of the people out there.  I know
nothing of that.  And yes, my toes are sensitive to things such as this.  If
I lose my op sys it takes me months to get it back to the condition I had
before its destruction.  You may not believe me but I assure you that is the
case.

The information I have garnered here has helped to maybe stick my toes in
the fire again.  I will wait a while and see if there is any good soul that
can explain the procedures for a manual setup. And if that is pie in the sky
then at that point I will decide if walking around with a few less toes is
worth it.

Thanks.

 Sure.  My toes are not so sensitive that they become burned off if
 I encounter a problem with my system.

 I'm also the kind of guy who thinks that if something is working for 99%
 of the people out there and *I* have a problem that it is probably *my*
 problem.  So, often, I like to figure out what that problem is.
 Sometimes, if I don't have enough time or interest, I might wait to see
 if a new version of a program solves my problem but I never grow so
 averse to trying something new that I steadfastly avoid running a
 program because it once gave me problems.

 Does that answer your question?

Re: Where is the manual to manually install cygwin in Windiows 2000

2002-04-20 Thread George Hester

Thanks Robert.  I went there.  But it looks as though I have to have Cygwin
installed to do this.  Let me give you an example:

On this page:

http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm

you will see an example how to get files using CVS.  That worked just fine
for me.

But on this page:

http://cygwin.com/cvs.html

the directions say this:

Once you've done that, you need to tell your local cvs software what
password to use. The password is the word anoncvs :

bash$ cvs login.

As you can see there is a bash shell running.  Will I get into a bash shell
automatically upon connecting through CVS or do I need Cygwin installed
first?

Where is the manual to manually install Cygwin in Windiows 2000

2002-04-18 Thread George Hester

The last time I tried the installer I did not like the result.  So now I
have downloaded all the packages I need evne the docs.  But I see nothing
about how to install this manually; what environment variables I should set.
Nothing at all.  All I see is telling me to use the installer.  If I do not
want to do this does that mean I cannot install Cygwin in Windows 2000?
Thanks.
