Out of curiousity, which one of the two solutions above > did you mean? Originally, I was looking for something like 'cygpath' in it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the other solution: OFFENDING_ENTRY="/cygdrive/c/ClearCase/bin" PATH="`echo "$PATH" | sed "s#:$OFFENDING_ENTRY##"`" I'm now modifying it to remove paths with 'Rational' in it. I'd rather not modify the original 'profile' if I can help it. Makes it easier to destroy cygwin and reinstall from scratch. -- 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/
