Re: nul

Once when I felt particulary stupid, I've added redirection to 'nul' instead
of '/dev/null' to a program run from cygwin cron. Now I've got a file called
'nul' on NTFS disk and can do nothing about it neither with windows tools
nor from cygwin shell. Not a big problem, but annoying. Any ideas on how to
get rid of it?

Assuming you created
C:\some\path\nul
using
del \\.\C:\some\path\nul
in the Windows console might help you to get rid of it.
