Subject: "rxvt -e bash" From Batch File


When I envoke "rxvt -e bash" from a command line

I get rxvt with bash and bash sourced my .bashrc

file.  However, when I put "rxvt -e bash" in a

batch file, launch the batch file, I get rxvt

with bash, but my .bashrc file is not sourced...


Does anyone know why my batch file doesn't source

.bashrc and/or how I can get the batch file to

source?  I'm guessing I'm starting a login

bash session, but I'm not certain...

Have you tried this:

set the dos/windows environment variable - SHELL=/usr/bin/bash

and then you should be able to execute

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg grey -sl 2048 -sb -fn 9x16 -ls

or something similar. The -ls tells rxvt to treat it as a login shell. All the rest is just for looks.
