Have you investigated the use of tools I suggested to help you track down which utilities are causing you the problem(s)? That would be a good start to narrowing down your issue into something this list can discuss, assuming that's where you'd like to take this. Of course, you're always welcome to review the current implementation of unlink() to see if you can suggest improvements. It's worthwhile though to review past discussions on this issue to make sure you don't end up just rehashing old threads. But new ideas are always welcome, particularly if they solve some long-standing problems! ;-) Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Brian DOT Kelly AT empireblue DOT com Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 14:59:23 -0500 To: shankar AT cotagesoft DOT com, maxb AT ukf DOT net, cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: RE: Bug in rm -r with locked files Well - even so .... "my" problem remains .... The scripts that I have are written to work cross-platform, and because I can't use rm -rf when telneting to a cygwin box with an automated telnet/ssh script, I have to do this nonsense: if ($telnet_handle->{$hostlabel}->{OS} eq 'cygwin') { ($stdout,$stderr)=$telnet_handle->{_cmd_handle}->cmd("cmd /c del /s $dir"); } else { ($stdout,$stderr)=$telnet_handle->{_cmd_handle}->cmd("cmd /c rm -r $dir"); } I'd rather not have to do this!!

Ah. Sorry. Should have straced the thing before shooting off. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ "Empire Health Choice Inc." made the following annotations on 01/21/2003 03:00:42 PM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- [INFO] -- Access Manager: Attention!
