Saber,

I had the same problem.

     >>hi there ,

     >>I'm using cygwin bash to run many TCP/IP servers on the same host
     >>machine , i need each server to work with a separate drive ,  so
each

     >> any help ?

My solution uses the following saved as
"/usr/bin/GetNumberRunningInstances"


<Start Of Script>
#!/bin/bash
#The "/usr/bin/GetNumberRunningInstances" script

let TheInstanceNumber="$(/usr/bin/ps -ef | /usr/bin/gawk -F ' ' ' BEGIN {
TheCount = 0; } { if (($3 == 1) && ($6 == "/usr/bin/bash" )) then
TheCount++;} END { print TheCount }')"


/usr/bin/echo "${TheInstanceNumber}"

# End-Of-Script.
< End of Script>

To use I then use a a file in /etc/profile.d/

containing the lines:

let NewInstanceNumber="$(/usr/bin/GetNumberRunningInstances)"

/usr/bin/echo ""
/usr/bin/echo "NewInstanceNumber: '${NewInstanceNumber}'"
/usr/bin/echo ""

if [ ${NewInstanceNumber} -eq 1 ]
then
   /usr/bin/echo "<Start>    Mounting User Drives ..."
   /usr/bin/echo ""

   <<mount drives>>
   /usr/bin/echo ""
   /usr/bin/echo "<Finished> Mounting User Drives ... continueing ..."
else
   /usr/bin/echo "Not Re-Mounting User Drives - Already Mounted ...
continueing ..."
fi

/usr/bin/echo ""

That got around the problem for me.
