From: sylvester.j.fernandez@lmco.com (Fernandez, Sylvester J @EAG) Subject: Delays in first use of bash, ls, etc. 5 Nov 1997 18:41:22 -0800 Message-ID: <199711052132.NAA11265.cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com> To: "'GNU-WIN32'" I recently installed beta 18 of the GNU-WIN32 development kit, and for the most part everything appears to be working fine. However, the first time I bring up bash, or invoke a command such as ls within bash, it takes a minute or longer for it to come up, or in the case of ls, generate output. The same thing happens the first time I execute a bash script. The second and subsequent times it responds immediately. I was wondering if anyone knew what would cause this. I have also noticed that there is no delay if I double-click on the bash executable in the NT Explorer-- the delay occurs only in DOS shells that I bring up separately. Once I am in the bash shell (regardless of how I brought it up) I still have a delay the first time I execute some command such as ls. Any comments or suggestions on how to get around this problem would be apprecitated. Thanks.
