I did modify /etc/passwd.=20=20 The last line had: ...:/cygdrive/h:/bin/bash and I changed it to: ...:/usr/bin/perl:/bin/bash But when I open a new Cygwin session it remembers the old /cygdrive/h Could someone help me? I don't want to have to change my SheBang everytime I deploy a PERL script to Unix after having created it in Cygwin on Windows. Thank you,=20 Michael J.
