Well, there's your answer - it's /bin/sh which you have missing, not egrep. In Cygwin egrep is a shell script rather than a symlink. I believe there was a window during the recent changeover of /bin/sh from ash to bash where the update could cause /bin/sh to be deleted. Just copy /usr/bin/bash to /usr/bin/sh and all should be well. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
