I found on a recent install that .bashrc wasn't run, and certainly on my previous install a year or so ago it was run. The bash html page in the docs folder has detail about login and interactive shells and what initiation files are run and following that I put an explicit command in my .bash_profile file to run the .bashrc I'd copied from the previous install. Something changed in the set-up somewhere - not surprising I suppose. And I agree - it's useful to have these trivial but time consuming points aired on here from time to time. The login shell stuff sent me to look at the etc/passwd file and the stuff about that in the cygwin FAQ. As an occasional user of cygwin I have to say I find these documents written at too high a level to take in easily. A couple of hours searching for and reading and understanding docs is way too much for occasional users. -- =========================================== Chris Game <chrisgame@!yahoo!dotcodotuk> =========================================== -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
