Hi guys,
Just to add my 2 dimes, here's what I use:
Registry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cygshell]
@="Cygwin Shell Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cygshell\command]
@="c:\\cygwin\\usr\\x11r6\\bin\\run.exe /usr/bin/sh.exe /usr/local/bin/cygwin-shell-here \"%l\""
Add content of /usr/local/bin/cygwin-shell-here:
#!/bin/sh
cd "$(/usr/bin/cygpath --unix "$1")"
shift
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec /usr/bin/rxvt $*
else
exec /usr/bin/uxterm $*
fi
I always have DISPLAY set to :0.0 by default in the windows registry
since I start the X server on boot.
Also, I never use rxvt, always xterm/uxterm so I added the logic above
as an example.
Of course, the $* argument passing is totally wrong since rxvt and
uxterm do not take the same arguments... but again, that's just an
example.
Since it will always start uxterm for me, that means that my preferred
shell (/bin/tcsh) is used instead of bash.
Cheers,
Sebastien
