PING! Anyone have any ideas on this? See lots of discussion on "Cygwin visual brand" would be nice if there was some discussion of actual issues ;)

" Ans echo Ans is $Ans When I run from the bash prompt in Cygwin, I get: $ /etc/profile.d/p.sh + echo In p.sh In p.sh + read -p 'How are you today? ' Ans How are you today? OK + echo Ans is OK Ans is OK However, when it gets invoked on startup, by being in /etc/profile.d, I do not get prompted for input and it echoes the value of Ans is /etc/profile.d/xinit.sh, here's the output I get: In p.sh Ans is /etc/profile.d/xinit.sh So, it appears the stdin is being high jacked when login scripts are running. Cygcheck output attached.
