Something like this: @echo off REM your drive and path here: C: chdir \cygwin\bin REM -sr scrollbar rightside, -sl 2500 lines big, -sb scrollbar active, -fg textcolor, REM -bg backgroundcolor,-geometry size, -tn terminaltype, -cr cursorcolor, REM -fn font+size, -e eval this command rxvt -sr -sl 2500 -sb -geometry 90x30 -fg lightblue -bg midnightblue -cr red -tn rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-14" -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i Gerrit -- =^..^= -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
