Hi Folks,

I have some trouble running chrooted shell scripts:

- First I've copied c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin\chroot\a
- I've created a shell script test.sh:
cat > /chroot/a/test.sh << @EOF
#!/bin/bash
echo hello
@EOF
- Then I try to run the shell chrooted, this works
chroot /chroot/a /bin/bash
- In the chroot I run the shell script, which echoes hello:
bash test.sh
- Then I leave the chroot (ctrl-d) and start the shell script from chroot:
chroot /chroot/a /bin/bash /test.sh

This returns: bash: *: No such file or directory (where * is a white smiley)

- The strange thing is that:
chroot /chroot/a /bin/bash test.sh

Just works, what is wrong? Cygwin seems to act very weird to / in a chroot. 

Thanks in advance,
Dick
