can unison run in emacs?

can unison run in emacs?

[Xah Lee]

When running unison within emacsW32's cygwin shell, it gives me a
error:

bash: [6056: 1] tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

is there some terminal setting or something in emacs to get this to
work?

Thanks.

(i searched google a bit, with the error or with “unison, emacs”, but
didn't seem to help. unison runs fine in the real cygwin terminal. I
can run rsync in Carbon emacs, but don't remember i ever did with
unison.)

Here's the cygwin log:

just found the -dumbtty option in unison home page's doc... however,
seems to still get the same error.

... sorry haven't done much looking here, am tired... heading to bed.

Looks like a bug in unison (assuming it can run on a terminal that
does not support fancy interactive features), or maybe its
limitation.  It wants an interactive terminal, but Emacs's way of
invoking subordinate programs isn't.
