Hi all,
I've just installed cygwin on my new machine (WOO HOO Finally) - install
from local directory, package files were downloaded yesterday morning (UK),
install everything. The post install scripts hung as above, but instead of
cancelling the install, I decided to see if I could just do enough to free
up the issue.
I went into the bin directory under the new installation, and ran bash.exe
with a double click. No paths seemed to be set up, so to run ps I had to
use ./ps but here is what I saw...
bash-2.05b$ ./ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
1260 1 1260 1260 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
4004 1260 1260 4004 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
I 1876 4004 1260 1876 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
2172 1876 1260 2172 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
412 2172 1260 412 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/cygpath
2732 1 2732 2732 con 11125 10:40:49 /usr/bin/bash
3444 2732 3444 3356 con 11125 10:41:21 /usr/bin/ps
As I thought the cygpath looked a little out of place, I ran ps again to
ensure it was still there...
bash-2.05b$ ./ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
1260 1 1260 1260 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
4004 1260 1260 4004 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
I 1876 4004 1260 1876 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
2172 1876 1260 2172 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
412 2172 1260 412 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/cygpath
2732 1 2732 2732 con 11125 10:40:49 /usr/bin/bash
3496 2732 3496 3468 con 11125 10:41:23 /usr/bin/ps
And then killed it...
bash-2.05b$ kill -9 412
The setup continued and seems to have completed successfully. Everything
seems to be working OK.
I thought I'd send in this report in case it's of use tracking down the
issue.
Cheers,
Steve Fairbairn
