How would I get the standard unix behaviour? Probably because you used cmd's builtin 'mkdir' (which doesn't understand -p) rather than actually invoking /bin/mkdir (of course, since you are running in cmd, that would be spelled c:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mkdir). Why are you using cmd in the first place? Cygwin also provides 'bash' as a shell, and bash doesn't have a broken builtin mkdir like cmd does. --=20 Eric Blake eblake AT redhat DOT com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig9FEA6927684C2C5ABE023D47 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJPc3NyAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nq3AUIAI/QiIpMB+y2CHMvpfZjqBr/ eBeT8FRUFo9qfVL2qhjHTy/X4D5bh0Kzy4R+Jvx3cXVmbypWu1a30kXy4z8uD/8d uEQI1iZS2OtBigxiwF6EgF6JytDC6LnQXQwfyHjoN3bskvMmNqetLz10gmXdJJDY tZ0o9a5XDEesLVnZAsYsXsOgB8cBs6pAHvwzJITNZEeMq11WxMcSOnSkN5KW8NVc vt3Sfbd+hre19dEXrDpKSnRVq0VWB92hhjVjUDpM7Ylpcvzv6Xl22Alb4zT8grMk OTNuJsiycKtxqbUyoWU9rjv+YIwPBfNisv6qJ4RGvxqjKO72nSPC/0cXAzX1cUI= =XtvM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig9FEA6927684C2C5ABE023D47--
