Here's my problem: I mount a mapped drive from a local Linux machine. If I first run a = script residing on this mount in Cygwin, then edit it on the linux = machine, cygwin won't see any changes to that file unless I access it = (touch or edit) first. Executing the script again will yeild old = results. For example: - A script on the mounted drive has one line: echo "Old" - I run it in Cygwin and see "Old" echoed - I edit it on the Linux system to be: echo "New" - I run it in Cygwin and see "Old" echoed - I touch the file in Cygwin and run it again and see "New" echoed Sorry if this has been covered, but I found no info in the docs or = archves.
