Anyone have any ideas on this? See lots of discussion on "Cygwin visual brand" would be nice if there was some discussion of actual issues ;) Thanks, Dave -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Garber, Dave (GE Infra, Energy, Non-GE) Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2010 9:17 AM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: 1.7.5: Bug with bash read in /etc/profile.d invocation OK, I have this simple script: #!/usr/bin/bash -x echo In p.sh read -p "How are you today? " Ans echo Ans is $Ans =20 When I run from the bash prompt in Cygwin, I get: $ /etc/profile.d/p.sh + echo In p.sh In p.sh + read -p 'How are you today? ' Ans How are you today? OK + echo Ans is OK Ans is OK =20 However, when it gets invoked on startup, by being in /etc/profile.d, I do not get prompted for input and it echoes the value of Ans is /etc/profile.d/xinit.sh, here's the output I get: =20 In p.sh Ans is /etc/profile.d/xinit.sh =20 So, it appears the stdin is being high jacked when login scripts are running. Cygcheck output attached.
