You would find it in the man page for bash. Type 'man bash' in a cygwin window and you will find both -l and -c defined there. Just for reference... -l - Make bash act as if it had been invoked as a login shell. --login - Same as -l. -c string - If the -c option is present then commands are read from string. if there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#RTFM -- Robert Pendell shinji@elite-systems.org "A perfect world is one of chaos."
