Is it possible to pass a parameter to rxvt to start bash up in a specified folder?
I suspect I don't know enough to construct the proper string. I normally start rxvt from a keyboard shortcut to the command D:\cygwin\bin\run.exe rxvt -name 17 -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i which works fine. I also have a registry entry to start cygwin in a specified folder from the explorer context menu, set up so: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\BashHere] @="bash here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\BashHere\command] @="D:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe --login -c \"cd '%1' ; exec /bin/bash -rcfile ~/.bashrc\"" which also works fine, it's just that I'd rather invoke rxvt. I have googled for it but not found anything obvious (but it is late Friday afternoon here), if anyone can drop me a hint, even a better search selection I'd appreciate it. BTW while in the subject of registry hacking if there's any emacs fans out there I find this rather useful too: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\emacs] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\emacs\command] @="D:\\util\\emacs-21.3\\bin\\gnuclientw.exe \"%1\"" Hmm - the other editor I do this with is the Hessling editor (the), I was wondering if there are any other users on list?
