My cygwin.bat looks like the following: @echo off SET MAKE_MODE=unix SET CYGWIN=binmode ntsec nostrip_title title tty SET PATH=d:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;d:\cygwin\usr\bin;d:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%;. D: chdir \cygwin start CMD /c bin\rxvt -geometry 90x30 -fg grey -bg midnightblue -cr red -sr -sl 2000 -fn "Lucida Console-12" -tn rxvt -e /usr/bin/login pause press return to login start /B CMD /c bin\login.exe -p exit Note the pause where I have to hit return to login. If I remove this line - and then run the above cygwin.bat I will be able to log into the screen using rxvt without a problem but the second line that just simply runs login will go appear to start to login but will appear to get hung in bash. I say it gets hung in bash because that is the last entry in the title bar of that window. I will then have to kill that window using the close box. If I then rerun the cygwin.bat a second time - it will work perfectly but not always consistently. If I leave the pause in there - it works perfect everytime. I really do not understand why the difference. Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong or could there be a deeper timing issue. Are the above lines simply wrong for what I am trying to do? Any insight greatly appreciated. -- Brian Keener bkeenerReMoVeAnTiSpAm AT thesoftwaresource DOT com 75462 DOT 747ReMoVeAnTiSpAm AT compuserve DOT com Virtual Access 6.0 build 8 Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 build 2195 -- 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/
