Hello. My problem is about different versions of du.exe that work in a different way. Details: the argument is executing du against a file owned by a different user than the one running du. first case: du <file> <disk usage> <file> du --version GNU fileutils 3.5 GNU fileutils 4.1 second case: du <file> <file>: Permission denied du --version GNU fileutils 3.16 GNU fileutils 4.0 In other words, using version 3.16 or 4.0 du fails to execute due to restricted permissions on the file. What I wonder is why the behaviour changed through all those du.exe versions and finally what should be the right way of working. Many thanks, Elisabetta -- 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/
