It seems this would be a popular feature, with several patches submitted (including one from me): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00070.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-08/msg00054.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-04/msg00133.html But it never makes it into the source. It's a little frustrating. (BTW, thanks for the patch, Kohsuke! Your effort is appreciated) --=20 Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International bryan.thrall@flightsafety.com
