Recently I updated from a thinkpad T61 to a T410 and installed cygwin on it exactly as I had on the T61. The only difference was that on the T61 I had an older version of cygwin installed (I'm not sure which one but it would have been from around mid 2009). Both laptops have Windows XP installed and Oracle 10G Express Edition. in my .profile i have my HOME variable set as HOME=/home/dcbartlett I have other variables set up in my profile that take the HOME value as a root. DC_ROOT=$HOME/bcystage/app/xform/DC_Scripts; export DC_ROOT DC_ERROR=$DC_ROOT/log; export DC_ERROR DC_REFRESH_MSG_FILE="$DC_ERROR/refresh_msgs.txt"; export DC_REFRESH_MSG_FILE; I have unix scripts that use those variables and they call sqlplus which in turn uses those variables in spool commands. The issue is that the logging the unix scripts perform works but the spooling from sqlplus does not. If I change the HOME variable to HOME=C:/cygwin/home/dcbartlett the unix logging no longer works but sqlplus spooling does. In both cases I get file not found messages. Setting HOME to C:/cygwin/home/dcbartlett worked for both unix and sqlplus on my old laptop (with the older version of cygwin). And I don't recall doing anything funky to get that to work. Does anyone have any idea on how I can resolve this without having to create one set of variables for Oracle and one for Unix. I am not sure if this is a cygwin issue or an oracle issue. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
