Ya beat me to it :) Although, in the current design, this would make a bash shell call a login shell call a normal shell (for the cd) which is a bit of a quoting nightmare. You could make a support script (/bin/shere) that did somehting like this: #!/bin/bash # shere: run login shell arg1 in directory arg2 [ -x "$1" -a -d "$2" ] || exit 1; dir=$(/bin/cygpath -u "$2") exec -l $1 -c "cd \"$dir\"; exec $1" Then the command you send would turn into something as simple as: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/shere /bin/tcsh.exe '%L' If you hate the idea of making another script (I do too) you could turn chere into a bash script, and add an arg like "chere -e <shell> <dir>" which runs the above. Then chere would do its work by registering a call to chere. -Andy -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
