We have gone so very far over my head that I can't even pretend to have a right to an opinion (but when did *that* ever stop anyone from sharing?) I'll probably just handle my own issues with a perl script; I'm slightly less an l-user with perl than with bash (but only slightly!) Truth is, I tried Igor's solution and it just froze my cygwin (the rxvt from which I called it and any subsequent rxvt opened) and I'm not bash-or-cygwin-savvy enough to see what is wrong.
That said, my failure to grok this is no reflection on the goodness that is cygwin. Rock on. beau -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
