how to run system calls in cygwin environment?
I have a C program in Solaris that contains system calls, something like this:
system ("ls -l > file");
I installed cygwin and this C program compiled OK on a Windows XP machine. When I go to run it at the cygwin shell, the C program hangs at this system call. To continue, I have to press a carriage return. If not, the C program just hangs.
How can I solve this problem in Windows when I use cygwin?

cygwin is not Linux. This is a Linux programming forum. Please post this to cygwin support forums for appropriate help.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
