I am struggling a bit with a batch script that I need to run in cygwin. I work in winXP and I had to write some awk scripts to do some file manipulation, and now I would like to automate the process by just running a batch file so that my colleagues can use it easily.
Now, the bat file is running almost fine, I only have a problem with the read command...
The problem I have is when trying to run this:
When I run this batch, everything is running ok, it prompts me for "version", but when coming to the next line, it's like it forgot what "version" was. When I type it line by line in cygwin, it remembers it ok, but not here
Does anyone know why and how to fix this?
I am not a good linux user, to be honest, I suck at it, but I still searched before going here and can't find a solution. It might be stupid, be I tried with

Suppose, to make things simple for now (but I may do a part 2 posting...), that I am in a dos shell, and I want to create a bash shell and have it... (1 Reply)
I'd like to streamline the code more than a bit to get it to run faster.
There's a thread about this and related issues of mine on the Cygwin mailing-list, but I want to eliminate any chances it might just be inefficient/inelegant/crappy code. A previous run of the same script on both Cygwin and... (6 Replies)
Hello,
In my make file (make 3.81), I use a combination of shell commands to automatically create the name of my build directory.
OS := $(shell uname -s)

KERN := $(shell uname -r | cut -d. -f 1,2)
BDIR := $(OS)_$(KERN).$(ARCH)When I boot into different OSs, I... (7 Replies)
I have set up a bash script to run a long list of things that I need to time. I would like to redirect the output of time to a file. I have set it up like,
echo "Runtimes for servlet 4, 100K structures" > test_times.txt

I'm using Notepad++ to edit my BASH scripts and using CYGWIN to run them from Windows7.
In Notepad++ there is a 'Run' capability. How do I get this to run my scripts directly without having to enter the script name from the Cygwin command line? (3 Replies)
As stated, I am looking into keeping my backup drive unmounted in normal windows use. Partly this is to address threats like cryptolocker. Since one of my backup drives is an internal drive, it will not likely afford any protection from such a threat. I am thinking of adding code to my rsync script... (5 Replies)

I am trying to use a batch file to automatically execute a bash script with no luck this far.
The batch script looks like this:

I have also tried this:

Needless to say that the windows box has Cygwin... (7 Replies)

dpkg-www
DPKG-WWW(1) General Commands Manual DPKG-WWW(1)NAME
dpkg-www - program to remotely open a WWW Debian package browser
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-www [-s|--stdout] [-h|--host host] [query]
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-www is used to remotely control a WEB browser and open a dpkg URL on the local host from an interactive shell or script.
If the command is invoked while running under X-window the script will try to find an installed X browser to open the specified URL. If
not running under X it will try to use a text browser instead.
If Netscape is found and a Netscape instance is already running it will be asked to open the dpkg URL on localhost with the optional query
supplied on the command line. If there is no browser running, it will start automatically a new one.
The functionality provided by this program is identical to running a web browser with the -remote openURL(http://localhost/cgi-bin/dpkg)
argument or opening the same URL from within the browser.
dpkg-www-installer is an helper application which can configured in the WWW browser for web installation. It should never be invoked
directly by the user.
OPTIONS -s, --stdout
Redirect output to stdout. Requires one of the text browsers (lynx, lynx-ssl or links) installed.
-h, --host host
Send the query to a remote host, where dpkg-www must be installed.
query Specifies an optional package name, an absolute pathname or a query argument which is passed to the dpkg cgi-bin. See dpkg-www(8)
for more information about the use of the cgi.
FILES
/etc/dpkg-www.conf
~/.dpkg-www
Configuration files for dpkg-www. It is not necessary for these files to exist, there are sensible defaults for everything, but you
can specify your preferred www browser with the DPKG_WWW_BROWSER variable, for example: DPKG_WWW_BROWSER=mozilla
EXAMPLES
dpkg-www
This would open a dpkg URL on localhost listing all the installed packages.
dpkg-www bash
This would open a dpkg URL asking info on the bash package.
dpkg-www -h pisolo bash
This would open a dpkg URL asking info on the bash package on host pisolo.
dpkg-www 'dpkg*'
This would open a dpkg URL listing all packages matching dpkg*.
dpkg-www /bin/bash
This would open a dpkg URL asking info on the package(s) owning the file /bin/bash .
dpkg-www depends=svgalib
This would open a dpkg URL listing all packages depending on svgalib.
dpkg-www --stdout depends=awk | grep ^ii
This would list on stdout all packages depending on awk and grep all lines of installed packages.
