Hi, '.' is not in the PATH due to security reasons on most business setups. I do not know if this is due to security against external threads or the user himself... But if you can handle it... Otherwise you should overwrite it in your .bashrc or .<whatevershell>rc.
Something like(!) PATH="`echo $PATH | sed 's/:\.:/:/'" should work...

(current dir) be in the PATH Hi, I just discovered that . (current directory) is in my PATH. I installed cygwin on my new laptop some weeks ago. I don't think . was in my PATH on my old PC. First I thought it came from my windows PATH, but it does not. Is . normally in the PATH (it was not on a few solaris systems I just checked, but that does not prove anything). It is even twice in my PATH, as the last entry, and just after /cygdrive/c/Infoprint. /Morten D:\mkj\bin>type cygwin.bat @rem 2004-Dec-10 09:36:01 MKJ Based on cygwin.bat from installation @rem Make sure we are in a new windows shell @if X%BEENHERE% == XBEENHERE goto :BEENHERE @%COMSPEC% /c set BEENHERE=BEENHERE ^& %0 %* @exit /b %ERRORLEVEL% :BEENHERE @set BEENHERE= @rem Where is CYGWIN installed @set MYCYGWINROOT=D:\cygwin @rem Set HOME @set HOME=%MKJPATH%\mkj @rem Start up command @set MYCYGWINARG= @if not X%1 == X ( set MYCYGWINARG=-c "eval \"$MYCYGWINCMD\"" set MYCYGWINCMD=%* ) @rem Set options @set CYGWIN= @rem Ctrl-C does not perculate to cmd.exe if 'tty' is set @rem X2 traps if 'tty' is set @rem @set CYGWIN=tty @rem Pretent we are CHERE, to avoid changing to HOME dir @set CHERE_INVOKING=Y @rem Now go @%MYCYGWINROOT%\bin\bash -l %MYCYGWINARG% D:\mkj\bin>set path Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE;C:\Program F iles\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 20 03\Common7\Tools\bin\prerelease;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 20 03\Common7\Tools\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1 \bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Java\lib;C:\Program Files\CA\Dcs\DMScripting\;C:\Program Files\CA\DCS\CAWIN\ ;C:\PROGRAM FILES\THINKPAD\UTILITIES;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Merant\DI MENS~1\8.0\PROG;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\IBM\Infoprint Select;C :\Utilities;C:\Notes;C:\Program Files\XLView\;C:\lotus\compnent\;C:\Program File s\IBM\Personal Communications\;C:\Program Files\IBM\Trace Facility\;C:\WINDOWS\D ownloaded Program Files;C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\;C:\Program Files\AT I Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\CA\Unicenter Software Delivery \BIN;C:\CA_APPSW;C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\CAM\bin;C:\Program Files\H ost Integration Server\system;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BIN N;C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\bin;C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\tools\ c\samples\bin;C:\Program Files\WinZip;C:\Infoprint;;d:\mkj\bin;d:\mkj\xmkj;d:\mk j\x;d:\mkj\regina; PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH D:\mkj\bin>.\cygwin.bat [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/bin $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Common7/IDE:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual S tudio .NET 2003/VC7/BIN:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2 003/Common7/Tools:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Co mmon7/Tools/bin/prerelease:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NE T 2003/Common7/Tools/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/SDK/v1.1/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322: /cygdriv e/c/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere MQ/Java/lib:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/CA/Dcs/DMS cripting/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/CA/DCS/CAWIN/:/cygdrive/c/PROGRAM FILES/THIN KPAD/UTILITIES:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdriv e/c/Mera nt/DIMENS~1/8.0/PROG:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Progr am Files /IBM/Infoprint Select:/cygdrive/c/Utilities:/cygdrive/c/Notes:/cygdrive/c/Progra m Files/XLView/:/cygdrive/c/lotus/compnent/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/IBM/Person al Communications/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/IBM/Trace Facility/:/cygdrive/c/WIN DOWS/Downloaded Program Files:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/Wireless/Bin/:/cyg drive/c/Program Files/ATI Technologies/ATI Control Panel:/cygdrive/c/Program Fil es/CA/Unicenter Software Delivery/BIN:/cygdrive/c/CA_APPSW:/cygdrive/c/Program F iles/CA/SharedComponents/CAM/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Host Integration Serv er/system:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/BINN:/cygdrive /c/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere MQ/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere MQ /tools/c/samples/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/WinZip:/cygdrive/c/Infoprint:.:/c ygdrive/d/mkj/bin:/cygdrive/d/mkj/xmkj:/cygdrive/d/mkj/x:/cygdrive/d/mkj /regina: .
