I configured my system so that it automatically starts Cygwin during boot time via the Windows autostart feature, by using startxwin and Cygwin/X to start several xterm and rxvt terminals, and also to start one bash shell in plain Cygwin (outside X).
Occasionally, one or two of the shells started that way complain bash: /cygdrive/h/.bash_profile: Permission denied Of course there is nothing wrong with my .bash_profile, and if I then do a manual . .bash_profile in these shells, everything works manually. It is certainly not a X specific issue, because it had occured already in the plain Cygwin shell too. My first idea was that perhaps that it could be a race condition between Windows starting the Autostart applications and mounting the network drives, because my $HOME is on a network drive. But this would not explain the following: When I start several xterm's from my startxwin.bat, it happens sometimes that the "permission denied" error occurs on one of the terminals started *later*, while the earlier started ones don't have this problem. Any idea what could be wrong here?
