Don't be too angry Charles! I am sorry, I did not make myself completely
clear and you misinterpreted my intentions. I am extremely grateful to
the whole cygwin community for providing such an excellent suite to help
many people SURVIVE in that hated Micro$oft environment :-)
What I was angry at, (mad, crazy and so on ;-) (look at Shankar Unni's
post - thank you Shankar :-)) was that some new 'inventions' of MS
Window$ break completely some well prepared basics of a stable
environment (aka cygwin). I bet there is a switch, registry entry or
some such to make this particular Windoze 2000 behave correctly, but
where to look for it is another question ;-).

I just hoped there was somebody who encountered a similar problem,
that's all. I do not like the idea of asking Micro$oft because the reply
   I am going to receive will be 'stop using cygwin, use DevStudio instead'.

I never did it ;-) I like cygwin and never said a word against it :-)

I never meant to be offence anyone ;-) Cultural clash? :-)

Thanks for the above ideas, that's something :-).
BTW regardless of setting or not CYGWIN to tty the behaviour is the same.

* Annoying cmd console spawn with remote access and Win 2000

Hi,

This issue really drives me mad:

Description:
I ssh form an unix machine (LOCAL) to cygwin machine that runs Windows 
2000 (REMOTE). I then run nmake (Visual C++) on REMOTE. nmake, in turn 
spawns several processess (one by one) to compile a VC++ project.

Problem:
As each process is spawned a new cmd console appears ON THE SCREEN of 
the REMOTE machine. The status/result of compilation is printed on this 
very console. Then the cmd console is automatically closed. Nothing is 
printed on my local console.

In this situaltion I am practically unable to work remotely as I don't 
see any warnings/errors produced by VC++ compiler.

Question:
Is there a way to force the output to a parent console?

Note:
The above scenario worked perfectly (well, nearly... despite Ctrl-C ;-) 
) for me under Windows NT.


Thank you very much in advance for all your help.

Pawel Czechowicz
