I would like to have on my Windoze desktop an Icon for zsh running under Cygwin, similar to the standard Cygwin Icon which runs a bash login shell, so that I can choose whether to get a window using bash or using zsh. It works kind of, but I can't get zsh executed as login shell. The BAT file invoking the bash login shell calls bash using bash --login -i but zsh has no equivalent to the --login option, so I just use zsh -i which makes the shell interactive, but not login. Zsh considers itself a login shell iff it is called under a name starting with a dash. Is there an elegant solution to this problem? Of course I could cp -- zsh -zsh and call -zsh, but I would have then to redo this everytime I update zsh to a newer version. Another possibility would be to execute a shell script using bash and in this script do an exec -a -zsh zsh -I But maybe someone knows a better way to do this?
