I'd like to know how I would go about the following: I'd like to launch a shell script from within windows explorer (either double-click or via context menu) in a way that: - a console (or rxvt window, preferrably) is opened in the folder where the script resides - the script is executed - the cnsole stay open after the script has finished So far I have managed only the first bit (console/rxvt) + script execution, but the console closes immediately when the script is done. Any ideas? H. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
