Re: chere doesn't work anymore with MinTTY
Andy Koppe: Corinna Vinschen: I just think the -e option is along the lines of the -c option for shells. Every Unix shell has a -c option and it always means the same, even for csh and, FWIW, cmd.exe. Agreed, and implemented in 0.3.8. Just to confirm that the original problem is solved by this. Thanks!

I noticed the absence of -e in the options list, but assumed the list was wrong since there were no complaints about it. regards, Dave. chere maintainer -- 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/

Agreed, and implemented in 0.3.8. I'd say that emulating the options in the common subset of rxvt's options and xterm's is probably a good idea - at least for options that affect the behavior (like -e) instead of just the appearance. I'll leave it at just -e, like Konsole and gnome-terminal. Like those, MinTTY is meant to be configured primarily through its GUI. Alternatively, its config file can be edited manually.

Alternatively, its config file can be edited manually. The point is that not all of those xterm command line arguments are configuration. Some are behavior. There's no hard and fast line between those categories, but in general, configuration is relatively static, while behavior is dynamic - as in, very likely to be different every time you open a new window. Admittedly, run this command (-e) and use this title (-title/-T) are the only two examples that spring to mind. I just think it's important to think of it categorically rather than just -e. -- Mark J.

You really don't have to support every ugly xterm option. I just think the -e option is along the lines of the -c option for shells. Every Unix shell has a -c option and it always means the same, even for csh and, FWIW, cmd.exe. Well, the latter with kinks.

chere doesn't work anymore with MinTTY
Hi, chere (v1.1) doesn't work anymore for me after the recent upgrade of MinTTY to 0.3.7. I tried to reinstall chere with the command below, but that didn't help. chere -i -s bash -t mintty When I switch back to rxvt, chere does work again. chere -i -s bash -t rxvt Regards, Frank -- 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/
