Hi All... While doing some testing with keychain and the snapshots while getting ready to release a keychain service package (still working on it)...I noticed the following Sometimes doing a [ -f foo ]; will show a false true while the symlink is being created. You can see this by opening two bash shells and executing while :; do echo $$> foo.lnk; rm foo.lnk; done in the first one and while :; do if [ -f foo ]; then echo here; else echo " there"; fi; done in the second one. Thanks, ...Karl -- 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/
