Greetings, Ronald,
I would like to have on my Windoze desktop an Icon for zsh running under
Cygwin, similar to the standard Cygwin Icon which runs a bash login
shell, so that I can choose whether to get a window using bash or using
zsh.
Use mkzsh to do this. For help, type 'mkzsh --help'
eg:
mkzsh --desktop
It works kind of, but I can't get zsh executed as login shell. The BAT
file invoking the bash login shell calls bash using
bash --login -i
See the '-l' option of zsh in the manpages.
eg:
zsh -l
but zsh has no equivalent to the --login option, so I just use
zsh -i
which makes the shell interactive, but not login. Zsh considers itself a
login
shell iff it is called under a name starting with a dash.
Is there an elegant solution to this problem? Of course I could
cp -- zsh -zsh
and call -zsh, but I would have then to redo this everytime I update zsh
to a
newer version. Another possibility would be to execute a shell script
using
bash and in this script do an
exec -a -zsh zsh -I
But maybe someone knows a better way to do this?
Ronald
