Message-Id: <06041769152036@mail.nls.net> When I start up Bash from NT it opens in c:\winnt\profiles\randall\desktop So I tried putting .bash_login and .bash_profile in it with just one line: alias dir=ls This doesn't work. I tried putting a profile file with the same contents in the etc directory under where I have cygwin installed: j:\prg\cygwin\etc\profile That doesn't make any difference either. I tried creating an etc directory on the c drive and putting profile in it too: c:\etc\profile That doesn't help either. So I'm running out of ideas. Anyone know where the Cygwin Bash goes looking for profile, .bash_login, .bash_profile, and .bashrc? -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
