Re: editing crontab using gvim
Hi, Thanks for the response. About the quoting, that's a reply I'm just doing via Gmail, I don't recall actually doing anything special to have that quote the email. I'll see if there are other the things I can check, like the /tmp permissions.

Hi Toby, If I use your method, I get this when I try and save the file in gvim: E45: 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override) I'm guessing this probably has something to do with permissions in /tmp. I suggest you read the User's Guide and FAQ and look into it.

editing crontab using gvim
Hi, I have gvim installed and when I do: $ crontab -e gvim opens up my crontab. But, it opens it as readonly and saving it requires wq! but then when it exits, I see: $ crontab.exe -e crontab: no changes made to crontab But I did do the changes! Anyways, if I use this command to edit my crontab: $ EDITOR=vim crontab -e then everything is OK but isn't GUI like I want. Any ideas what I can do to resolve this? NOTE: to create my initial crontab, I had to use the latter command.

Re: Install problems ssmtp
are you sure that /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe doesn't exist?

Solution: ls -l $(cygcheck -l ssmtp | d2u) ...which is precisely what cygcheck -c ssmtp does. Specifically, it prints OK if all the files are present. But this is all a red herring. You said you have some kind of problem with ssmtp but you only described an unrelated problem with using cygcheck. Describe the actual problem -- what are you trying to accomplish, what have you done so far to get there, and what happens when you do that? Sorry. I try again to describe my problem. I tried to get mail from my cron jobs, so I like to make a link from ssmt to sendmail. But there ist no file installed. I started setup an reinstalled ssmtp but the files are still missing. I deleted ssmtp with setup. And Installed ssmpt new but still no files on the disk. I didn't see any error on reinstalling and installing the ssmtp. I'm using Setup.exe version 2.573.2.2 Thank for any help Franz IMPORTANT I will read replies only from the mailing list.

path and .exe issue after initial installation
Hi, I've just now installed a fresh Windows XP installation. I've also just now installed a fresh install of the latest stable Cygwin downloaded from cygwin.com After install, I usually need to check out a CVS tree but when trying to run any command I get a command not found type result. That said, yes I've added c:\cygwin\bin to the ENV PATH. Now, if I cd /bin and type the command ./ls.exe I get the list of the directory, but if I try something like ./cvs.exe .. I get the bash again. Meaning, no output. $ /bin/cvs.exe --help also shows no output and just jumps to the next line in bash. Any ideas why this fresh install isn't working as expected?

Re: path and .exe issue after initial installation
Could it be that the package/s have been downloaded badly? I've asked Cygwin to first download without installing the packages to my local server and only then ran the cygwin installation and asked it to install from the local downloaded directory. If a package was broken, would I know about this?

Could be an error during install left you with one or more missing files, these symptoms are very typical of a missing DLL. Run cygcheck /bin/cvs.exe to find out, it'll tell you if anything's missing. If so, you should be able to fix it by just running setup.exe again and clicking 'next' all the way through without changing the settings; it'll verify your installation and repair/replace anything that's missing. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/ -- 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: path and .exe issue after initial installation
I don't see this package as even been downloaded. I thought I had set it to download everything... why am I missing it in the first place? I don't even see it in the local package folder I had cygwin install download to.

So re-run setup.exe; it should pick up the dependency. If for any reason you don't have the package downloaded, you can always find out which package contains a given file: go to http://cygwin.com/packages, enter the name of the file, and you'll see (at http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygcrypt-0.dll in this case) that you need to (re?)install the crypt-1.1-1 package. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/ -- 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/
