[Red5devs] [PATCH] Make .sh startup files for red5 work under Cygwin

[Art Clarke]

Cygwin is an "almost" unix like environment, but the trick is "almost".  It
still has to use the Windows Java version, and the Windows Java version uses
semi-colons, not colons, as a CLASSPATH separator.  Hence if you run the .sh
files included in tip-of-tree on Cygwin, you'll get a failure to find
classes in your classpath.

As a result, all the .sh files fail under cygwin; although the .bat files
work.  The downside of running the .bat files though sh is that killing the
red5.bat process is interactive (i.e. it asks you "Terminate batch job
(Y/N)" after you've killed the process).

Attached is a fix that detects if the OS is Cygwin, and changes the
classpath separator to ';' instead of ';'.  It introduces a dependency on
'uname' in the path of the running process -- usually a safe bet on most
Unix systems.

If folks think it's useful, apply it.  If not, no sweat -- this is just us
submitting all of our Red5 patches to the community.

Questions welcome.
