Friends, <-- Now there's the start of a spam mail if ever I saw one ;) I've searched archives and found a couple of potentially related messages, but none I've found seem to quite match the behaviour I'm seeing. This appears to be new behaviour in ?1.5.x? that worked as I expected it to when still on a 1.3.x version (sorry, can't remember which it was, and don't have that machine in work today to check). I have a script which is going through a list of file names and testing they exist before copying them. If the file doesn't exist, the script appends ..exe onto the end of the name and tests again (not sure if this is needed for cygwin, but certainly is for MKS Toolkit). echo "program" >> ../bins.lst $P_WINDOWS='//dev2k/d/dev/product/bin' cat ../bins.lst | while read file do if [ -f $P_WINDOWS/$file ] then cp $P_WINDOWS/$file WIN/ else if [ -f $P_WINDOWS/$file.exe ] then cp $P_WINDOWS/$file.exe WIN/ else echo "H:$P_WINDOWS/$file doesn't exist" >> WIN.res fi fi done I am actually running the script while I've cd'd onto a network share, so both source and destination drives are on the network, but two separate machines. At the time the above script is executed, the destination directory does exist and is empty. The source directory does exist and does contain an .exe version of the 'program'. The error produced is as follows... cp: `//dev2k/d/dev/product/bin/program' and `WIN/program' are the same file To get around the problem, I've checked for the .exe version first and then the non .exe version, but I thought it should be reported. The potentially related messages I found are...
