Regular PuTTY does, and I like that feature. When you start c:\cygwin\cygin.bat in Windows, it goes to a cmd prompt, and I have none of of the features of PuTTY that I like. Hence, my need for PuTTYcyg > "SecureCRT is like PuTTY on steroids, and that's the kind of front end > that I ultimately prefer." > > They are both clients.

Sure, they're both clients, but when you've gotta shell in to different boxes all the time, you come up with little recipes, and sometimes it's nice to make a macro and share those macros with others who need to do the same thing. I usually take a Windows laptop to a customer site. Cygwin is my ghettofabulous way of having a sort of happy medium when I need to do stuff at the command line (shell into multiple boxes to check stuff, expect scripts, change a crapload of file names on my computer, etc) _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
