Mintty command line for old time rxvt users
I've been using rxvt with Cygwin for years and I must thank Chuck Wilson and anyone else that's helped maintain it and the Cygwin as a whole! I've recently been having trouble with my locales accessing Linux servers through ssh - gcc errors were coming out with horrible characters, and I'm sure I got it working once, but I can't remember how I did it! So I thought I'd finally try minty and it works perfectly - so I guess I'm a convert. But I've got a question regarding the command line options. I used to have a bunch of shortcuts to start an rxvt to ssh to my remote servers but it took some trial and error to get it working so that it is (briefly) a login shell to get my sshconfig settings. So I've converted from this shortcut: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e ssh servername To this: C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe bash --login -c "ssh servername" Which works, but is a little cumbersome. Am I doing this the best way, or am I missing something obvious?

Connection closed by foreign host
I'm having a problem with telnet. If I execute a long running command that doesn't output anything (like a while loop moving lots of files) then quite often I eventually lose the connection. What's worse is that I don't realise that I've lost the connection until I press return (or Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z) in the (rxvt) window. You get similar behaviour if you set TMOUT, but I haven't. Anyone know why it's happening, and if there is something I can do about it?

ZoneAlarm hates email-2.3.0-2
I've been using the new email package to upload my digital photos to my yahoo email account (what else can you do with a 2GB limit?), but it's really slow. Looking in the task manager I see that when I'm using email (email -s "description" -b -a "filename.jpg" [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the vsmon process takes my CPU usage upto 100%. vsmon is the firewall process for ZoneAlarm. Strange. When I email the photo's using outlook express it doesn't behave like that. I've tweaked every setting I can think of in ZonaAlarm to try to improve the performance (like adding my SMTP server as a trusted host and lowering my security) but I've not managed to alter the behaviour at all. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Can anyone hazard a guess as to what ZoneAlarm's problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

rxvt & java
I've only recently discovered java's ability to show a traceback from the dos box by pressing Ctrl-Break. Does anyone know how to get this to work using rxvt's? I tried changing a few stty settings (brkint, ignbrk, cbreak) but it always just echoes an 'i' when I hit ctrl-break.

I'm implementing command line options for the setup program, with the goal of being able to email people a shortcut to a setup.exe on a shared drive with the options needed to install/update just what they needed from a mini-mirror site (i.e. use setup to download to a shared folder). I'm still working on it (see archives of the cygwin-apps and cygwin-patches mail lists), but I haven't got a lot of time for this project at the moment. If anyone wants to help out I am willing to coordinate!

If you were using Linux then that would probably have been in an xterm or similar (see the rxvt package which is currently having it's virtues discussed endlessly in the mail list) however by default it's the middle button to paste; but rxvt uses shift+left button (which I've got so used to that I must get around to changing my .Xdefaults on Linux...).

Re: setup.exe question/feature request

(loosing my job changed my priorities somewhat!). I've found getopt a royal pain in the bum. And I'm finding debugging with gdb a nightmare - but then I've never liked gdb (but having developed and supported a propritetry debugger for 5 years, I'm probably biased!).

Re: Speaking of debian cygwin
Would it be rude of me to request the people refrain from cross-posting to the cygwin mailing lists? We seem to be getting quite a lot of news from other web sites, couldn't it just be directed to cygwin or cygwin-xfree?
