As someone suggested I set my home home variable to HOME=C:/cygwin/home/$USER Which allowed the shell to address the individual user but also created a folder called $USER in my c:/cygwin/home directory where it expected to find my .bash_profile which instead resides in the individual users dir. The end result is that bash doesn't read in any of my settings or aliases unless I move my .bash_profile into ~/$USER allowing me only one .bash_profile. So my question is how can I set my HOME variable so that bash will know what user is logged on and also source the correct .bash_profile? Is it possible that I could put something like username.bash_profile into the folder $USER and store all profiles here? Sorry if this is basic but I am just getting the hang of this. -- Jordan Halsey maya|shake|prman|eias|formZ|ae Parallax Visuals http://www.parallaxvisuals.com ------ End of Forwarded Message -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
