Re: Remove cygwin
Thanks to everybody for the replies. I have tried to install again the cygrunsrv, setup.exe doesn't return any error but I can't find the cygrunsrv anywhere. And procexp.exe has found any process in the cygwin folder. So I can suppose that there is no service running and no process is blocking the cygwin folder, but why I can't delete it? Somebody has an idea?

Casual Trash sent the following at Tuesday, October 18, 2011 11:42 AM Thanks to everybody for the replies. I have tried to install again the cygrunsrv, setup.exe doesn't return any error but I can't find the cygrunsrv anywhere. And procexp.exe has found any process in the cygwin folder. So I can suppose that there is no service running and no process is blocking the cygwin folder, but why I can't delete it? Somebody has an idea? How are you trying to delete C:\cygwin? Windows won't let one remove a folder if it is the current working directory of any process. An easy mistake in Windows Explorer is to have C:\cygwin as the working directory when trying to delete it from the left panel directory tree. I'd try using Windows Explorer, going to C:\, and deleting from there. Another approach would be re-booting (a) into safe mode or (b)at least keeping things from automatically loading. (I forget exactly how to do the latter so I just hold down shift, alt, and control when booting - one of them works.) If the person is available, you might ask whoever gave you the computer (and presumably installed cygwin) for help or advice. Please excuse me if you've already tried any of the above. The email string suggests that you might have tried some, but it is not clear to me.

Thanks I'm not sure it applies in your case, but sometimes (and this happened to me under Windows 7), when you have folders or files, or maybe a whole disk, that are from an older installation so to speak, it can be hard to remove such files. I had that happen to me when I took a disk from an another computer that wasn't formatted and had cygwin on it among other things. I could not delete the cygwin folder even though I was running as admin. I solved it by running two commands (and here the old cygwin folder I wanted to delete was located on e:\cygwin): First, take ownership of all files (recursively): $ takeown /F E:\cygwin /R Then, change permissions recursively: $ icacls E:\cygwin /grant Administrators:F /t after that I could remove those files and folders from that secondary disk. Maybe it doesn't apply for you, I'm not sure about that, and use with care, but I hope it helps. - EL -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Hi Scott,
you may just remove all path components from PATH which are part of cygwin.
I use the following bash function to do those removing since long years ago:
rmpc()
{
local C=$2
local R=
local OIFS=$IFS
IFS=$IFS:
set -- $1
IFS=$OIFS
for i in $@
do
if [ x$i != x$C ]
then
if [ x$R != x ]
then
R=$R:$i
else
R=$i
fi
fi
done
echo $R
}
to work correctly make sure your wrapper script starts with bash in magic line -
#! /bin/bash
for example but not
#! /bin/sh
because when invoked as bourne shell necessary functionality may be missed
you may add this function directly after the magic line for invocation
then just before calling your dos batch scripts remove the unwanted
path components from PATH
you shouldn't do this earlier in your code because no cygwin applications
and scripts are found after this unless they are hashed by bash in a
pervious call
PATH=`rmpc $PATH /bin`
PATH=`rmpc $PATH /usr/bin`
you may remove any path component this way
PATH=`rmpc $PATH .` # remove .
PATH=`rmpc $PATH `# remove blank path components
caution: this mechanism remove all multiple occurences of a componente
from PATH
when returned from your dos batch script you are lacking the most cygwin
functionality.
to get it again you have to save the PATH previous to the changes:
SAVE_PATH=$PATH
and just restore it after the dos script returned:
PATH=$SAVE_PATH
Hi Kurt,
Thanks for the reply (as well as others who have contributed). This
looks like it will fit my needs perfectly. I'll give it a try and post
back if I have any more trouble.
Thanks!
Scott

What I do is have a batch file I call before executing any dos commands
(sort of a .dosrc), and in that I set my dos path. So for example I have a
bash function dos that looks like this:
function dos() { local s=/c; if [ $1 == ]; then s=/k; fi; cmd $s
%ETC%\login $*; }
... where %ETC%\login.bat is my .dosrc file. This enables me to say to
bash, dos and get a dos prompt, or dos foo and execute foo in a dos
context. LIkewise for things such as shortcuts to cmd.exe, I use cmd.exe /k
%ETC%\login.
I know this is not exactly what you're looking to do but perhaps something
similar might work in your case.

PATH is just a regular variable like any other. If you want to remove
something from it, use whatever text processing tool you like. The
shell lets you set environment variables only for the command being
executed using the syntax var=value command arg ..., so:
PATH=$(perl -e 'print join(:, grep([EMAIL PROTECTED]/(usr/)?bin@,
