I might be misunderstanding you, but are you saying that you think 'bin/..' should resolve to the current working directory? This is not what Posix says. See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/, starting at "If a symbolic link is encountered during pathname resolution...". The reason you got what you wanted using 'realpath -L' is that the -L option specifically asks for that: $ man realpath [...] -L, --logical resolve '..' components before symlinks Ken -- 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
