Everytime I install Cygwin I find myself rooting around for the “more” command. It’s been removed in favor of “less”, however I prefer “more”. It’s more or less (ha! Linux humor!) a simpler pager.
Install the util-linux package for a random collection of older utilities, including “more” and “whereis”.
I usually install util-linux for the shutdown command– I like to run a cronjob at work to check out the latest from SVN and build and shutdown every night around midnight.
that is, if i could get cron to work on cygwin reliably.
Cygwin1.7 is great by the way. Been using it for months, and its stable and the Japanese lang support is good. LANG=JA_jp.UTF-8, I think.
Wow, thanks! I couldn’t figure out whereis whereis 🙂 Now I’ve got it back. Brilliant.
