What are the contents of your shortcut? I point to this batch file: <batch> @echo off C: cd \cygwin\bin rxvt.exe -bg white -fg black -fn "Lucida Console-12" -ls -sl 9000 -rv -geometry 110x49 -sb -si -sk -sr -sw -e bash --login -i </batch>
Which works fine. I briefly see a command window and then the RXVT term comes up and the command window disappears. > -----Original Message----- > From: Garrett, Ron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 10:14 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: rxvt shortcut problem (bash, XP, memory, heap, Win32 > error 487) > > > I'm having trouble starting rxvt from a shortcut icon.
