Thanks Larry for your help. I managed to get the posted solution partially working and it is exactly what I was looking for. I only cannot get the shell script to run as a service. The service will attempt to start then fail, but it is really running. Does "exec" fork a process?
I have tried both methods and .bash_login method although simpler is not a feasible solution in my situation. The reason is I am calling "ssh <sever> <command>", so the auto scripts do not run as I never go into the bash shell.

I'd recommend: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html The thread you reference isn't doing anything more to remap the drives than you are manually. It's just automating the process. If that's all you need , then just put the "net use <foo> <bar>" in your .bash_login or other convenient spot that gets run each time you login. The process described above is just a more complicated way of getting here, albeit with certain advantages (it won't remap your drives every time you invoke bash -l). -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
