My rxvt shortcut is: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg white -sr -sl 1000 -fn "Fixedsys" -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i The --login -i makes your bash an interactive login shell, and will cause it to execute ~/.bash_profile (but not ~/.bashrc). See the bash info under Bash Features::Interactive Shells: So, typically, your `~/.bash_profile' contains the line `if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi' Run allows execution of a console mode GUI program without console windows appearing. http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/index.html -- Michael Hoffman The University of Texas at Austin -- 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/
