Slow manipulation of network-shared files

This is wordy but I've tried to make it clear :-) I have a Perl app running in Cygwin 1.7.1, whose job is to monitor the log files being written by a Java program on another Windows Server 2003 box elsewhere on the LAN. (I'm using the CPAN File::Tail module, which provides 'tail -f' functionalit

OpenSSH login failing thru PuTTY/plink

Hi, I've installed and configured OpenSSH on two Windows 2003 Server / Cygwin machines ("chaplab1" and "chaplab2"). I've tried, with PuTTY and plink.exe on a Windows 2003 machine on the same LAN, to connect chaplab2, and get "failed to authenticate". But I *can* PuTTY to chaplab1/Cygwin, and fr

Installing Tidyview.pl on Cygwin

I've been wrestling with this all day. Everything that tidyview depends upon has had trouble installing on Cygwin. Tk.pm, Perl-Tidy, Log::Log4perl. 'install tidyview' itself failed during tests (not surprisingly, since its dependencies are in an unknown, probably broken state). Far fro

Grief: installing OpenSSH on Cygwin / WindowsServer2003

Hi, I followed directions (/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README) as best I could, helped out by a couple of other web sources along the way. I know almost nothing about Windows administration. Trying to connect with PuTTY gives a "server unexpectedly closed connectin" error. Here is wh

'emacs' command becomes a no-op

After bringing everything up-to-date in Cygwin (Windows Server 2003), emacs won't run. I give the command, it thinks for half a second, and then gives me the command prompt. I'm also noticing different behavior from readline in a Perl script. I'm using mintty, which got upgraded in the proc

Remote execution of shell script from DOS .bat file

I've written a Perl program that runs in Cygwin on a Windows Server 2003 box. I now need to make this program invokable from a DOS prompt on another WS2003 box. The program is not interactive. You give it the args on the command line, and off it goes. Output is a text file in some network-shar

cpan has a problem Writing Makefile

Hi, I'm new to cygwin. Using setup.exe, I have installed the default cygwin installlation on XP, as well as the entire devel section. I'm trying to use cpan to install a Perl module (Text::CSV_XS) but it gives the following error message: Checking to see if your kit is complete... Looks good.
