Subject:	Mintty command line for old time rxvt users
Date:	Mon, 19 Aug 2013 13:23:00 +0100
MIME-Version:	1.0

I've been using rxvt with Cygwin for years and I must thank Chuck Wilson and
anyone else that's helped maintain it and the Cygwin as a whole!

I've recently been having trouble with my locales accessing Linux servers
through ssh - gcc errors were coming out with horrible characters, and I'm
sure I got it working once, but I can't remember how I did it! So I thought
I'd finally try minty and it works perfectly - so I guess I'm a convert.

But I've got a question regarding the command line options. I used to have a
bunch of shortcuts to start an rxvt to ssh to my remote servers but it took
some trial and error to get it working so that it is (briefly) a login shell
to get my sshconfig settings. So I've converted from this shortcut:

  C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e ssh servername

To this:

  C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe bash --login -c "ssh servername"

Which works, but is a little cumbersome. Am I doing this the best way, or am
I missing something obvious?

Many thanks,

Keith
