> Don't use Win32 paths. Use POSIX paths: > alias vpnupwin='cd /cygdrive/c/home/sva/config; openvpn --config client.vpn > --writepid /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/openvpn.pid &' Moreover, the very first line is wrong. Must be alias vpnup='exec sudo openvpn --config $HOME/config/client.vpn --writepid /tmp/openvpn.pid &' that's where his problem began, IMO. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 30.07.2011, <16:11> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
