* If I run cygwin.bat directly from Start/Run..., it works fine. (I mean I can start vim, exit, and echo is OK). (I don't have CYGWIN or TERM set in the native Windows system or user environment)
* If I start a "CMD" shell, do "set CYGWIN=tty" and then start bash, and from within bash, run vim, again it's OK (by above defn.)
* However, if I start CMD, and within it, directly run as one command "env CYGWIN=tty bash", then when I exit vim, bash's echo is turned off.
I suspect this last emulates the setup when login forks off bash (but sorry, pure wild-assed guess here).
Cygcheck output attached.
Shankar,
The bash man page says
An interactive shell is one started without non-option arguments and without the -c option whose standard input and output are both con- nected to terminals (as determined by isatty(3)), or one started with the -i option. PS1 is set and $- includes i if bash is interactive, allowing a shell script or a startup file to test this state.
I suspect that your bash may be getting confused about whether it's
running interactively. Try printing $- from inside bash. Also try giving
the '-i' option to bash and see if it helps.
