I just did the following and it looks to me like the left bracket is built in to ash also. I put all the Cygwin tools in /bin with mingw32 stuff in /usr/bin. I also have "which" which says "[ not found" in any of the path elements. bash-2.01$ ash $ type [ type: not found $ [ true ] && echo ok ok $ ls /bin/[ ls: /bin/[: No such file or directory $ ls /usr/bin/[ ls: /usr/bin/[: No such file or directory $ ps TTY PID PPID PGID WIN32-PID UID STIME COMMAND -1 1000 1000 1000 202 1000 10:31:55 c:\bin\bash.exe -1 1004 1000 1004 199 1000 11:32:21 C:\bin\ash.exe -1 1009 1004 1004 166 1000 11:33:38 C:\bin\ps.exe $ exit bash-2.01$ ---- Bob McGowan i'm bobmcgow at xstor dot com Storage Dimensions, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de [mailto:mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de] Sent: Friday, March 20, 1998 12:50 AM To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Subject: Re: B19: [.exe is missing and B19.1 dll update is corrupt Hi Simon, > > >The utility [.exe seems to be missing from this release which breaks most of >the scripts that rely on it rather than test.exe. The utility was in B18. Just "ln -s test.exe [.exe", if you need it. But it is not necessary for bash, only for ash, which is sh.exe in B19.
