Re: TMP and TEMP get redefined, but I need the original values

TMP in Cygwin is "user-crafted"? TMP in Windows? TMP in your script?

TMP in Windows.



Also, this approach would defeat the intended purpose of the redefinition of TMP (avoiding permissions screwup). Or am I missing something here?

If you're the only Cygwin user on your machine, this is a reasonable way. Otherwise not.

You mean, the permissions problem only surfaces on machines, where multiple users use the same cygwin install? Ok, I'll consider that.


For now I resorted to copying the TEMP value to WINDOWS_TEMP on the native Windows side already, and then refer to that backup from the script in question.
