The above implies something but I'm not sure what it is. Can you give more detail? mintty and xterm are terminal emulators which can't do much without a shell inside them. bash is among the valid shells you can use in mintty or xterm or rxvt. The default "Cygwin terminal" icon if you set up a minimal Cygwin installation is mintty serving as a terminal for bash. So when you say you are trying with the standard shell I'm with you up to the part where you say, "We have tried using mintty...but there were other issues" because I use those together. And since I have chosen to participate in this thread, I tried the command in question. The success of my attempt does not mean that I don't believe there's a problem. My setup is Windows 7/64 in a VM, running 32-bit cygwin, mintty terminal and bash. -- 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
