uh, what's cygrunsrv?

Just installed autossh in ubuntu, and I noticed this in the manpage:

SEE ALSO
     ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1), cygrunsrv(1).

Wonder if that's ever confused any non-cygwin users.

things you can do with cygwin, LEH death contest,


I don't know if anyone here follows this but the problem with LEH have
been all over the news lately, cygwin mentioned in this not-so-prestiguous
forum, funny but still a real use that may go unappreciated,

Re: WeLCOME TO THE WORLD FAMOUS (LEH) DEATH CONTEST!     10-Jul-08 07:41 am     If you would go get cygwin or run
linux, you could sort the list and keep track of who is still a possible winner, 
$ cat xxx | sed -e 's/>>*/ /g' | sed -e 's/[/-]/ /g' | sed -e 's/ \([0-9]\) / 0 \1 /g' | sed -e 's/ \([0-9]\) / 0\1 /g'

GNU tar somewhat cleverer than I thought


http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html#SEC112

" Note that the file 'cherry' is recorded in the archive under the precise
name 'cherry', not 'food/cherry'. Thus, the archive will contain three files
that all appear to have come from the same directory; if the archive is
extracted with plain 'tar --extract', all three files will be written in the
current directory.

Contrast this with the command,
 	

$ tar -c -f jams.tar grape prune -C food red/cherry

which records the third file in the archive under the name 'red/cherry' so
that, if the archive is extracted using 'tar --extract', the third file will
be written in a subdirectory named 'orange-colored'. "

  :) That's some fairly powerful AI they must have there.

    cheers,
      DaveK
