Hi, I have defined a number of aliass in my .bashrc, and these do not appear, so I assume that the .bashrc is not sourced, when I start up cygwin or I log in remotely. I have made copies of my .bashrc in / and in /home/user_name/ - but it does not look at either of them. I have looked at the FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.bashrc) In this I could not understand if the HOME environment variable refers to an environment variable in cygwin or under Windows. Under cygwin echo $HOME gives /home/user_name - but I dont have a HOME variable defined.
Am I missing something in trying to source my .bashrc. Thanks for your replies and help. Regards, O.O. ___________________________________ Yahoo!
