starting cygwin shell
Hello Forum, I am new to cygwin. I am trying to create a .bat file so I can start cygwin from w7 windows menu. I am looking for next: 1. new shell is created with next prompts: gene@len /cygdrive/c $ 2. Backspace and arrow keys can move cursor to beginning. At the default installation, I can only get this type of shell if I run 2 steps: 1. c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat 2. and in new shell I run: start bash. Second question: I am running below code and shell dissapear. I could catch the message before it happens. Do you know what seems to be a problem? for k in `ls` do print here is $k done Message: save: fork_level=1 SetHandleInformation() failed: fd 0 handle 0x3 type 2: Th e parameter is incorrect. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I have grepped the Cygwin DLL and *sh* and don't see it anywhere. Are you possibly using other binaries besides Cygwin ones?

A quick google suggests it comes from MKS. Trying to mix Cygwin tools and MKS ones at the same time won't generally work well, and is probably the cause of the shell problems too - MKS apparently is known to have problems under Win7. Gene, try removing MKS from your PATH setting. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Try typing 'mount' and see if there is a /usr/bin listed there. If not, rerun setup. It creates the /usr/bin mount point, as well as making sure your system has a valid installation.

Error when starting Cygwin shell: init_cygheap error
Hi, I have the same problem as in the January thread cited below: when starting the Cygwin shell I'm getting an error: 9 [main] bash 2040 init_cygheap::etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking, Win32 error 1 I have checked that I don't have two cygwin1.dll in my PATH. When I rename the cygwin1.dll in the /bin directory to something else, I'm getting a message that cygwin1.dll is missing. So what can be the problem? BTW, when I do which cygwin1.dll from the shell it tells me: /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll There is no /usr/bin. Is this a part of the problem? Stan Berka, Pope Talbot Inc.
