Create a symbolic link ln -s /usr/bin/foo /foo where /usr/bin/foo is really usr/bin/foo.exe ls -l /foo returns foo -> /usr/bin/foo.exe rm /foo fails with No such file or directory ls -l / returns whatever else is in the directory plus foo.exe -> /usr/bin/foo.exe rm /foo.exe works fine So I was baffled that the .exe was required since at no point in my link creating process did I reference a .exe on the end of the files. $ cygcheck -c coreutils Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status coreutils 6.7-2 OK I will include the entire cygcheck -s -v -r if you need it. -Jason -- 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/
