I'd like to set it so that when I run cygwin it automatically launches an xterm shell but Im having problems.
I normally run cygwin and then run startxwin.bat (which works fine). I can not just put startxwin.bat in .bash_profile because it will loop opening shells (it resourced .bash_profile everytime which in turns opens a new xterm). I thought this might because the xterm I was opening up in startxwin.bat was a login shell but I changed the xterm command from -ls to +ls (a non login shell, and thus it should not resource .bash_profile but it still does). Ideally I want to run cygwin, have it automatically open a login xterm shell, and then auto close the cygwin shell. Any suggestions. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/start-xterm-automatically-tp25375737p25375737.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
