Re: cygwin - novell interaction

Hi,

I can not reproduce the problem using the DOS batch script.

For the batch script:
---------------------------
Rem run forever
:lab1
find "someString" n:\path\to\file
goto lab1
---------------------------
everything is fine (of course, maybe is M$ just too slow
to reproduce the problem ;)

When I start a similar shell script:
-------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
      t=`grep someString /n/path/to/file`
      echo  /n/path/to/file
done
-------------------------
I receive soon a message from grep: "No such host or network path"
and drive (server) is not accessible (also not for windows/dos). After
some time (ca. 5 sec) the drive is again on-line (until the next crash).

Anyway, I did not realize any problems if I'm using native M$ tools or
self made C/C++ programs (e.g. processing of large number of files).

Bye,
Ljubo
