Defaulting to /home/$USER." HOME="/home/$USER" fi if [ ! -d "$HOME" ]; then echo "WARNING: HOME directory did not exist! Logging in with HOME = /tmp" HOME="/tmp" fi This sets HOME and SHELL as per /etc/passwd, which, IMHO, is better. -- 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/
