I do startxwin to open X and then do gracebat <parameters> this does what I want, namely produce a jpeg file
Now if I try this for a perl script(run from X) system(gracebat <parameters>) i.e. the exact same line that produced the right result I get an error. I guess the reason is that I am using the activestate perl instead of the cygwin perl; anyway there were reasons for that, not sure if valid or not[the reason was getting DBD::Oracle to work, which was a huge pain]. So I guess "system" to perl is whatever system Activestate was installed for, i.e. Windows. The question is: Is it possible to get around this? Can I tweak the system command so that it executes gracebat(but otherwise use Activestate, e.g. for Oracle DBI queries? -- 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/
