I still don't quite understand the different b/t bash and bash --login....but I know the latter is why my .bashrc does not run when I run cygwin using this batch file: ============== @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin SET PATH=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%;.
REM I use exceed as my xserver: start /D"C:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\8.00\Exceed\" exceed run xterm -sb -bg rgb:20/20/20 -fg rgb:ff/ff/00 -geometry 90x65 -T 'X-Terminal' -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i ============= is the --login option even necessary? I simply put it there for the sake of keeping it consistent with cygwin.bat anyway... thank you __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
