Re: "reboot now" from console fails


Richard,

Well, it's only going to work if you have a single Cygwin shell window open. That's usually the case for me. (I've never tried it with X running.) For the record, by CYGWIN variable is "binmode ntsec" (and now the "ntsec" is redundant--I guess it's just a leftover of times gone by).

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, it doesn't make a difference (remote or
console). Does the CYGWIN variable have any impact on this? If so,
where, when, and to what value should I set it? (I only bring this up
because of the headache I ran into when setting up cron.
