There's your problem. Bash remembers the hashed location of where it last found the command, but that location is relative. You either need to disable bash's hashing, or force it to re-evaluate its hash as soon as you are in a different directory. 'shopt -s checkhash'. > $ echo $PATH > [gives a very long path.

(Well, I do it, but only as the LAST item in my PATH, so that any application I am likely to run occurs earlier in the PATH). But ./bin? Seriously, change your path to call out an absolute path of ~/bin instead of using ./bin and relying on the first invocation being from ~. That way, bash will hash the absolute name in the first place. At which point, this is no longer a cygwin-specific question - you would get the same behavior on Linux. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
