RE: X Server no longer launches urxvtc-X
Thanks Bob,
this eliminates the '/bin/find' error when starting rxvt or urxvt.
I just added
cd /
before the PATH= line.
Still cannot run urxvtc from X server tray app.

Another data point, when I try:
black EXEC /bin/rxvt -fg green -bg black -cr dodgerblue -g
80x40 -e /bin/bash -l -i
rxvt successfully starts up but displays:
/bin/find: failed to restore initial working directory: No such
file or directory
Before .bash_profile is invoked
Jay, I resolved the find issue by modifying the /etc/profile file.
The real issue is the change made in the latest release of the
cygwin1.dll where the current working directory is set to an invalid
directory. Until you set the current working directory to something
when find is called, you'll continue to see this. Try moving this
portion of the /etc/profile script:
# Make sure we start in home unless invoked by CHERE
if [ ! -z ${CHERE_INVOKING} ]; then
unset CHERE_INVOKING
else
cd ${HOME}
fi
so that it is located before the execution of all the /etc/profile.d
scripts.

RE: X Server no longer launches urxvtc-X
More data points: Both 'rxvt' and 'urxvt' work from my .XWinrc, except that I get the '/bin/find: failed to restore initial working directory: No such file or directory' message. But 'urxvtc' does not. My .XWinrc entries are: rxvtexecrxvt -fg green -bg black-cr dodgerblue -g 80x40 urxvt execurxvt -fg white -bg darkblue -cr dodgerblue -g 80x42 -e /bin/bash -l -i urxvtc execurxvtc -fg white -bg darkblue -cr dodgerblue -g 80x42 -e /bin/bash -l -i however, within windows created using either rxvt or urxvt I can then execute urxvtc commands successfully. Thus the daemon is running, here is ps output: jgoldman5068 1 ?Aug 20 /usr/bin/XWin jgoldman8156 1 conAug 20 /usr/bin/urxvtd-X So, there seems to be some issue with running 'urxvtc' or urxvtc's ability to contact the daemon from within the XWindows server. Is there any logging that I can enable? -Original Message- From: Jay Goldman Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 3:59 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: RE: X Server no longer launches urxvtc-X When I just replace the cygwin1.dll bash, \bin\bash.exe -login -i From cmd window results in: The procedure entry point CreateProcessAsUserW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll I have no idea where find is being invoked when I execute rxvt, since it is invoked before .bash_profile is invoked. -Original Message- On August 20, 2010 3:06 PM, Corinna Vinschen wrote: Please dont top-post.

Chuck - thanks for the reply. This is what I had concluded but it's nice to get some confirmation. For the next few days I can live with 'manually' starting urxvtc-X via individual batch files.
