Not sure what you mean by interactively. A shellscript that does
distclean/configure/make qualify as non-interactive? If so....
Getting it in with the buildfarm would be great though ;-)

Certainly. Just start x:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe. To get the adjusted paths
(if you want ls and such tools), run
x:\msys\1.0\bin\sh --login -i
(msys.bat will actually do this if it doesn't find rxvt..)

The buildfarm is designed to run from cron or a similar task scheduler
... that's what I mean by non-interactive :-)

So maybe I can schedule a task like buildfarm.bat which would contain this?
cd c:\msys\1.0\bin
start sh --login -c 'cd /home/buildfarm && ./run_build.pl'
(I'll also need to see about file locking on Windows - does standard
Windows perl do non-blocking flock?)
