Re: perl test fails


Hmmm, don't see how it can have anything to do with the mapping of a networked drive, since the problem started on the NT4 box, at which time the scriptlet was located in /cygdrive/e/cygwin/rnc/try.

Since I wanted to demonstrate that it worked on the Linux box (having tripped over that one originally!) each time I hacked one copy of the script I then had to move to the other machine and duplicate the changes I'd just made. Clearly this was error-prone, so it made sense to just use the copy on the Linux box. On the NT4 it's accessible as /cygdrive/i/rnc/try.

And no, I've never heard of smbntsec. What's it mean/do?

Regards
Rob

I've been away for a week, hence the delayed response.

Thanks for this and clearly my scriptlet was broken. I've now tried both alternatives as suggested below. Both work perfectly under Linux. Neither works under NT4.

Linux output:

script is executable

NT4 output:

I damn well am!

To eliminate error further, I'm now running just one copy of the script, since the disk I use on my Linux box is mapped to the i: drive on the NT4 box.



Are you suggesting that you're using a mapped drive from your Linux box?
That may be the problem. Do you have 'smbntsec' set in your CYGWIN environment variable?
