From: Jonathan DOT Lunt AT exegesis-systems DOT demon DOT co DOT uk (Administrator) Subject: Telnet and use of notty 16 Mar 1998 10:19:41 -0800 Message-ID: <7189A7A2DB68D111AF1A0080C87ADD5E305C.cygnus.gnu-win32@brian.exegesis.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "Gnu-Win32 Archive (E-mail)" I have read much on the use of "notty" to get non cygwin32 apps running over telnet. My experience shows that this is not the case. As far as I can see, when inetd.exe is run as a service it will not allow other apps to be started. I can run lemmy, vi or notepad from a telnetted command line and they never appear. I have tried all the various combinations using notty & nobinmode, but to no avail. However! If I run inetd from a cmd prompt, then I can start non-cygwin32 apps from a telnetted command line REGARDLESS of the cygwin32 setting. I then thought about allowing the inetd service to interact with the desktop. When it starts up it opens a cmd window... bingo! Non cygwin32 apps begin working again. So, the end result is that non cygwin32 apps require inetd to be running in a cmd window. Not ideal. And I still get the following bail out if I run ls in the directory "Program\ Files/gnuwin32/H-i386-cygwin32/bin", but no other: (unknown) Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (unknown) Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (unknown) Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack) fork_helper: child died before initialization with win32 error 0 bash: fork: No more processes More and more weird.
