Hi all, Just wanted to report a bug I found: Running commands via SSH causes windows executables to be given path priority, so that they run ahead of identically named UNIX executables. I found this while trying to use the find command as part of an SSH call. For example, assuming you have an SSH server set up: $ ssh localhost "find -true" FIND: Parameter format not correct Here, the Windows find is being executed instead of the UNIX one. Alternatively $ ssh localhost "/bin/find -true" Works fine. Also: $ ssh localhost "./myfindprog" FIND: Parameter format not correct Also fails, assuming myfindprog looks like this: #!/bin/bash find -true On the other hand, things work fine provided you don't try to run your commands directly from the SSH process. So: $ ssh localhost Last login: Fri Apr 29 18:24:06 2005 from machine Administrator AT machine $ find -true is okay. Thanks for a great product. -- Dominic -- 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/
