Well, if the user does not have /usr/bin in their Windows path (instead relying on /etc/profile to add it) and they try to run "ash rebaseall" from a command prompt, they will get an error about not finding cygwin1.dll unless /usr/bin is the CWD. It would be nice if ash had a "-l" option as bash does to tell it to be a login shell and read the profile/rc files. But it doesn't, AFAICT. It seems to want to sense this by checking if argv[0][0] == '-'. *sigh* Brian -- 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/
