Re: cron does not work: no error message
Pierre, Thanks for the reply. It seems to be working now, although I didnt do anything. Very strange. The cron.log file is still empty though. cron-config says no problem found. saurabh --- Pierre A.

Convert windows shortcuts to cygwin soft links
I must have done something to my cygwin folder, but all my ln'ed soft links on cygwin have gotten replaced by *.lnk windows files. Is there a utility to convert windows links to cygwin soft links? I dont want to have to go and do everything manually (there's at least a hundred files!). Thank you. saurabh Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Re: Can cron cause computer to wake up from hibernate?

Disabling that feature did the job. AFAICT that's not hibernation - that's sleep mode. There's a difference, I use hibernate mode all the time. I once used it at work when we were moving from one building to another. During that time the computer was not even connected to the power source and indeed in a moving truck! When at the new building I powered it on and it came back exactly to where I had left it off prior to hibernating it. In fact, Wake On LAN technology is designed to work on machines that are completely shut down - the only caveat is that the motherboard reserves power for the network card, and the network card scans for a particular magic packet addressed to it. If that packet shows up, the computer turns itself back on. ~Matt Wozniski Oh it is definitely hibernate. I have never had the computer come out of shutdown though. I found partial answers here (http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-008459.htm) and here (http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit/msg/c40efb06dce495d6). My computer does show ACPI. I'll try turning off my cable modem and see if it works.

Can cron cause computer to wake up from hibernate?
Hi, I'm trying to troubleshoot why my pc comes out of hibernate. It seems like some of the times this happens correspond to cron jobs. Is it possible that cron could be (one of) the culprit(s) here? If so, is there a way to prevent cron from waking up the computer? Thank you. saurabh _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

1.5.20(0.156/4/2) pipe hangs, dos files
I guess I must send this again since no one replied the first time.
For the sake of argument, there are two fileformat=dos files A and B, each
having n lines. A has the single character 'a' (other than linebreaks) on each
line, B has the single character 'b' on each line.
Now for sufficiently large values of n (starts around 2500 but 1 almost
always has this behaviour), the following command simply hangs:
paste A B | awk '{print NF}'.
I'm thinking the problem is pipe coz the commands work fine individually (paste
is GNU coreutils 5.97, awk is GNU Awk 3.1.5). In case the output gets written
out, it is 512 lines long, which is probably some buffer size somewhere.
We have an older cygwin on another machine: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.6(0.108/3/2),
paste (textutils) 2.0.21, Gnu Awk 3.1.3, which runs absolutely fine.
ulimit -p is 8 on both machines.
