What up?
Background:
I was using cygwin happily, but haven't for some time.
Evidently, along the way, I set my XP HOME environment variable to
I:\me, where I: is a mapped (non-local) network drive on all but 1
computer. Local as in mapping to my own machine. Here 'net share
Data=D:\Data', 'net use I: \\mymachine\data'.
As per mailing list / google search, I have changed /etc/password 'me'
line from /home/me to /cygdrive/i/me.
But the above still happens.
Check out the bash man page, the INVOCATION section, for a list of
script files that are searched and invoked during bash start up. Take
a look at what's in those. If you have to, put 'set -x' in them to
see what's happening when they are invoked (or if they are invoked).
That might give you a clue.
(1) How do I have my home directory on a network share, so I get the
same environment regardless of the machine I'm running cygwin on.
[One list message indicates home directory in passwd is not paid
attention to, so I tried deleting it, i.e. :: - same result.]
If I 'set home=/home/me' before calling bash -l -i, things work as
expected. If I only 'bash -i' things work as expected. Including the
ability to cd /cygdrive/i/me. If I'm in that directory and call 'bash
-i', my .bashrc runs.
(2) exit at $ hangs bash?
bash-3.2$ exit {or Ctrl-D}
exit
_
And that's it. bash hangs. I have to end process bash.
Suggestions?
Did you start another process from this shell? If not, perhaps
it's time we see your cygcheck output <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
and a clear set of steps that reproduce the problem.
