I want to replace the default cygwin bash window with something where I can have multiple tabs or tab like features. I do not know of any command line commando that would not want this feature and hope that in the future something else would be provided by default.
It looks like the best combination is "rxvt" and "screen" used together. So I was able to crate an rxvt.bat file and create a short cut to it (icon on desktop) but when it launches it is not the bash shell nor is it a login shell. When I do $echo $SHELL, I get /bin/sh and when I type $alias, I get nothing so it has not sourced my environment config files. --- How do I create a .bat file that launches rxvt with screen and makes all future shells bash and all of them login shell? -ls & +ls do nothing. I have already read the man page on rxvt --- my current rxvt.bat @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin rem bash --login -i -e ./term rxvt -e screen --- This gets displayed and is very nice to read but after the 22nd time I have it memorized --- and would like to supress it. Also when running the screen command I always get some text and then instructions to press the spacebar/or enter. That is very nice but how is this surpressed?
