Hi, I noticed a strange shell behaviour using the "CygwinPromptHere feature" by Glen Coakley. Within a console opened with CygwinPromptHere no alias'es I defined in /etc/profile are read out. However, if I run rxvt the usual way (via the default shortcut), my alias'es work just fine. My /etc/profile looks like this (alias definitions in /etc/alias):
[...] test -e /etc/alias && . /etc/alias cd $HOME [...] It doesn't matter whether the alias definitions are included in /etc/profile or not. I also tried using ~/.profile, same problem. Strangely enough, any other lines in /etc/profile seem to execute correctly. I'm using the latest Cygwin release 1.3.17-1 and the responsible registry value looks like: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Cygwin_Prompt_here\command] c:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe [...] -tn cygwin -e /bin/bash.exe --login -c "cd '%1'; exec bash" Maybe a switch for /bin/bash.exe is missing - which one? -i? Any ideas? Thanks, - [mn] -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
