Hello, I use Cygwin mainly for ssh access to a few Windows command line utilities (psexec, mainly). To make this easier, I generally use a wrapper utility named conin.exe. The utility makes use of /dev/conin to do its magic.
After upgrading to the latest and greatest Cygwin release (1.7.13), that entry in /dev seemed to disappear. Checking out the latest snapshot (2012-04-11) gave me the same issue. Looking through the changelogs and recent mailing list activity, it seems there were a few changes in the dev handling code in the latest releases. Regretfully, I don't have the expertise to figure out why conin disappeared, but it is still referenced in the source. In the meantime, I've installed an older snapshot and all is well again. -- Tom -- 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
