I think you try to execute direct bash.exe without the interactive parameter, like proposed in the cygwin.bat : bash --login -i -i indicate "echo a prompt and wait for command" -login "indicate, first time bash in executed, parse the .profile"
Yi Chu <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] com> cc: Sent by: Subject: bash shell just flash and disappear [EMAIL PROTECTED] in.com Header: Internal Use Only 10/04/2004 16:56 I am new to cygwin, and just installed it. When I launch cygwin, the bash shell window just flashes once and then disappears. I remember reading somewhere that there is a windows setting that fixes that, but I do not remember the details and can't find that article anymore. I am on WIndows 2000. Please help. yi _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
