This started having strange problems recently: 'echo' can re-direct to /dev/clipboard but 'cat' cannot: # win8.1 enterprise: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 hostname1 1.7.27(0.271/5/3) 2013-12-09 11:57 i686 Cygwin $ echo test1 > /dev/clipboard $ echo test2 > /tmp/t $ cat /tmp/t > /dev/clipboard cat: write error: Permission denied # Same on a win7 home premium: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 hostname2 1.7.26(0.271/5/3) 2013-11-29 11:25 i686 Cygwin $ echo test3 >/dev/clipboard $ echo test4 > /tmp/t $ cat /tmp/t > /dev/clipboard cat: write error: Permission denied # works on my win7 enterprise: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 hostname3 1.7.25(0.270/5/3) 2013-08-31 20:39 i686 Cygwin $ echo test5 > /dev/clipboard $ echo test6 > /tmp/t $ cat /tmp/t > /dev/clipboard # no error and "test6" is in the clipboard Also cygcheck gave an error: $ cygcheck.exe -s -v -r >cygcheck.out garbled output from 'id' command - no uid= found
