Wouldn't that be: if not errorlevel 0 pause or @if errorlevel 0 goto exit @echo "bash was either not executed or did not exit cleanly" @echo "[more touchy feely stuff here]" @pause :exit ? This would be triggered if someone types "exit N" (where N != 0) in the bash window, though. I suspect that we'll now hear from the cygwin user contingent who always type "exit 42" because that was required to work around problems with ZoneAlarm v527. cgf -- 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/
