/usr/share/locale/af
Hi Managed to totally screw up my Cygwin by trying to reinstall the base utilities in setup. . Setup kept complaining that /usr/share/locale/af was being shared or locked , ... exit all cygwin etc, reboot required etc ... no luck.. wouldn't even let me do a fresh install into a new directory. In the end manually created the directory af in /usr/share/locale also /usr/share/locale/af/LC_MESSAGES and magically my Cygwin was all bright and shiny again.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: apache2-2.2.0-1
Max Bowsher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: The Apache HTTPD version 2.2.0-1 packages, previously released with testing status, are now promoted to the current distribution. IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTE Existing version 2.0 config files are MOSTLY compatible with 2.2, but WILL require at least one change: Several modules have changed name, so the LoadModule statements will need updating. The easiest way to do this is to replace the existing LoadModule statements with the ones in /etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf. Apache 2.2 has a significantly redesigned default configuration: it has been greatly simplified by removing all but the most essential configuration settings. A set of example configuration settings for more advanced features is present in the /etc/apache2/extra/ directory. Furthermore, the naming scheme of the pristine default configuration files has changed: Instead of /etc/apache2/httpd-std.conf, there is now /etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf, and similarly for other files. === Hi, Are people actually moving to Apache 2.x yet?, I was scared off in the early days by talk that it didn't yet support PHP etc. -- zzapper http://successtheory.com/tips/ 100 FREE Success and Self-Improvement Tips -- 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/

The Beauty of Cygstart
Hi,
Cygstart is one of the marvels of Cygwin as it helps bridge Windows apps
and *nix. Specifically Cygstart understands Windows File Associations
(amongst other things)
So you can type say
cygstart finances.doc
And this will open the file in MSWord or whatever
I use the following typing saving function
function cs() {cygstart *$1*}
cs fin
As often the file I want is the most recent this function is also useful
function csn() {cygstart $(/bin/ls -t *.* | head -1)}

The isn't needed for cygstart, as it simply tells the shell to
execute the proper association and exits. The only point at which
backgrounding would help is the short time it takes for the shell to
figure out what the association is (nearly instantaneous on my
machine).

cd to directory in paste buffer : shell function
Hi,
I often want to cd to a (DOS) path that I've copied from some Windows App.
The following function (put in one of your startup files .bashrc .profile etc)
saves a few clicks
and is forward or backslash proof
function cdp()
{
# cdp(aste)
# description : Cd to path in paste buffer: convert from DOS if required
# set -x
getclip
echo ''
getclip|sed 's#\\#\/#g'|putclip
cd $(getclip)
}
I can already see a few improvements, and it would also be nice to have a check
that paste buffer
actually contains a path

[ -d $DIR ] cd $DIR
Or, even:

Nothing to do with xargs. Use find instead of ls/w wildcards.
yes, you should rather write
$ find . -name *.cfm -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i host
Is Xargs still reqd for
find . -name '*.cfm' -exec grep -i {} \;

Here's the crux of the matter ISFAIUI
if you want to pipe the o/p of find then xargs will 'regulate' the flow of
filenames
if you use the -exec method that is inherently on a per file basis so does
not
require xargs but
with a speed penalty for a large number of files
You missed a point - the relatively new POSIX-mandated find
`-exec utility {} +' form does the same thing as basic xargs, and
with one less process, so it is even faster than piping find to xargs.
Ah twigged, the + says batch
So really it's Argh no more Xargs !!

Hello,
I have largely replaced usage of windows explorer with a cygwin shell. One

would be nice that I could launch this file with the program associated

windows.
Is this possible, for example via a utility program kind of launch file.doc?
Sure. Use 'cygstart'.
script to launch most recent file
#!/bin/bash
# csn
# description : launch most recent file (head)
# set -x
cygstart $(l\s -t * | head -1)
Jump back into explorer in CURRENT directory

XPATH=$(cygpath -w ${PWD})
explorer $XPATH

Make that 'cygstart $(/bin/ls -t | head -1)' (add quotes, otherwise
filenames with spaces will not work).
Slightly improved to ignore directories (and assuming that Windows files always
have an extension)
cygstart $(/bin/ls -t *.* | head -1)
Jump back into explorer in CURRENT directory
wexp () {
XPATH=$(cygpath -w ${PWD})
explorer $XPATH
}
You could've used $(cygpath -aw .). And you need to quote $XPATH (i.e.,
use 'explorer $XPATH'), for the same reasons (spaces).
Besides, how about simply 'cygstart .'?
Yep! good.
man cygstart
man cygpath

The Cygwin version has just a tiny configure tweak. sharutils pass all (three) tests in the testsuite. GNU shar makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing them for transmission by electronic mail services. A shell archive is a collection of files that can be unpacked by /bin/sh. A wide range of features provide extensive flexibility in manufacturing shars and in specifying shar smartness. For example, shar may compress files, uuencode binary files, split long files and construct multi-part mailings, ensure correct unsharing order, and provide simplistic checksums. http://www.gnu.org/software/sharutils/sharutils.html SHAR SHell ARchiver -- zzapper vim -c :%s%s*%Cyrnfr)fcbafbe[Oenz(Zbbyranne%|:%s)[[()])-)Ig|norm Vg? http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/tips/ vim, zsh success tips -- 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/
