dosfilewarning

[Nellis, Kenneth]

I have a BAT file that calls a bash script that generates the 
following (edited):

cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: XXX
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: XXX
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
    http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

If I rerun the script, I don't get the message a second time, which
makes debugging the problem a problem. How can I have this message 
show up on every invocation? I tried closing all Cygwin processes 
and tried setting CYGWIN=dosfilewarning, but it seemed to want 
something more.

It's not designed to do that.  It will show up once per Cygwin DLL
session only.  If you want to see something different, you'll need
to patch the Cygwin source.

Thanx, but isn't the end of a "Cygwin DLL session" when all processes
that use the Cygwin DLL have terminated?

Yes, that's correct.  If you're not getting the message, you still have a
process somewhere keeping the DLL in memory.

Sounds like a job for Process Explorer...
