My scripts run a variety of commands, mostly cygwin, but some applications run in a DOS shell. To elaborate, I run bash, and inside this shell I start ActiveState Perl, which of course knows nothing about Cygwin. The script run by ActiveState's Perl, then starts system or `` commands, and it is from there that I get command boxes. I have run a small test : $ /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl -e "system \"dir\"" and this pops up a DOS command box while the command executes. I did not have that before, and the only thing changed was the upgrade to Cygwin 1.5.11.

Yeh? Do you mean if you're at the prompt in a bash shell, and you type "notepad" or "calc" and press return, then a cmd.exe box appears? > Is this a feature (bug) of 1.5.11, so I should upgrade, or > is this the result of a setting ? I think it's neither the result of a setting nor a bug of 1.5.11; I think it's down to something you haven't yet told us about the exact fashion in which you are "starting a non-cygwin process inside a cygwin process". cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/ -- 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/
