Jeremy, thank you for your reply. It's slightly more complicated than this, because I need a way to translate "/tmp" to the Cygwin installation directory. I.e. it's not a simple case of replacing "/tmp" with "c:/tmp" but rather "$CYGWIN_INSTALL_DIR/tmp" and I'm not sure CYGWIN_INSTALL_DIR or anything similar exists. This is because my users have cygwin installed in different places. For example, some have it on "c:\cygwin", others "d:\cygwin" and even "c:\cygwin-1.5" or "c:\cygwin-1.7". I need a general way to determine the Cygwin installation path. Any ideas? Is there a supported way for a script to determine the Cygwin installation directory, perhaps relative to /cygdrive or as a DOS path? -- David. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
