Hello Forum, I am new to cygwin. I am trying to create a .bat file so I can start cygwin from w7 windows menu. I am looking for next: 1. new shell is created with next prompts: gene@len /cygdrive/c $
2. Backspace and arrow keys can move cursor to beginning. At the default installation, I can only get this type of shell if I run 2 steps: 1. c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat 2. and in new shell I run: start bash. Second question: I am running below code and shell dissapear. I could catch the message before it happens. Do you know what seems to be a problem? for k in `ls` do print "here is $k" done Message: save: fork_level=1 SetHandleInformation() failed: fd 0 handle 0x3 type 2: Th e parameter is incorrect. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
