With all due respect, /bin/sh is meant to be POSIX-conforming, and IMO should force igncr to be off. IOW such people deserve what they get. :-) The other side of this argument is 'why did you switch to #!/bin/sh?'. Chance are it was done to make a script "more portable", and as we of course know '\r' line endings are *not* portable. Not that I'm trying to convince you of anything, just trying to help you feel better if you decide to make this decision. :-) -- Matthew $ kill bill - kill: can't find process "bill" -- 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/
