Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to run a command on cygwin either
through a batch file while launching cygwin or once launched.

I heard that I could use a .batchrc file to do this, so I created one
containing the command I wanted executed and put it in my home
directory - it didn't work. Next I checked the Cygwin FAQ's and it
said that a home directory may not have been set so put it in the
cygwin root. I did this and tried it again -- no dice.

If anyone could help me out or give me any alternatives I'd greatly
appreciate it. Thanks.
