I upgraded Cygwin, as advised, but it still didn't work. Since then I've been using cmd. However, today I discovered the solution: for some reason, I have to specify /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash instead of bash. This is strange, because bash exists nowhere else in my PATH (only /bin/bash and /usr/bin/bash), so rxvt couldn't have been executing something else.... Any clarification to this mystery would be appreciated.
Furthermore, while I was using cmd, if at any time during that cmd session I launched bash, then after exiting both bash and cmd, the terminal window would hang, and needs to be killed. This is both before and after the upgrade. On 9/18/05, Reid Thompson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >No, I haven't upgraded.
