What works for me is to create a text file (script) with a .sh extension. Make something simple like: echo 123 sleep 10 Then double-click on it, and windows will ask what program to open the .sh extension. Select "choose another program" and browse to c:\cygwin\bash.exe. That's always worked for me, with no need for doing any "login shell" stuff. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
