I know how that goes! :-) > how about put the --login on the first bash - i.e. txvt -ls -e bash > --login -c ...... Just tried that and it seems to wok. Perhaps. Actually I'm a big advocate of putting options in ~/.Xdefaults to make the command line for things like rxvt a lot shorter. I already have loginShell set to true there so the -ls is irrelevent in my situation. Actually does anybody know how to make this run minimized by default? I say that because there is that annoying, flashing window that Windows apparenlty runs cmd in to execute the contents of the command key here. My workaround for this, WRT shortcuts say on the desktop, is to preceed this already long command with "cmd /c start /b..." but then set the shortcut to run minimized. So instead of a large flashing cmd window there's a momentary blip in the taskbar that is quickly replaced with the rxvt entry. BTW the /c is equivalent to -c and start's /b option says don't open a cmd window for this command. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
