If they kill the process that has the file open, then the du works successfully. Is there something within Cygwin.dll that keeps du from successfully accessing the file while another process is accessing it?? jerry Jerry Heyman 919.224.1442 | Tivoli Systems |"Software is the Build Infrastructure Architect | 3901 S Miami Blvd | difference between Jerry.Heyman@tivoli.com | RTP, NC 27709 | hardware and reality" http://www.acm.org/~heymanj -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
