Re^2: Check for root under Cygwin

Yes, skipping those tests would work for sure.
But is there an option to run tests, when possible? (i.e. determine if current cygwin user acts like root under *nix)

But is there an option to run tests, when possible? You mean that the tests should be run when running as administrator ? Perhaps Win32::IsAdminUser() is useful for determining that. See the Win32 module's documentation. Consider posting to the Cygwin mailing list (if you fail to receive a satisfactory answer here). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Yes, Win32::IsAdminUser() is working right, seems it's the solution. I did not realize that this module available for Cygwin too. Thanks!	[reply]
