Re: using rxvt with other shells


Thanks for the input . . .

Yes, I'm silly (or desperate) enough to be running a non-CYGWIN shell
in a CYGWIN rxvt window.  Some of our heritage application software
depends on this shell.  It's a long and ugly story.

But, I found the problem, or at least a working solution.  So in case
someone out there gives a damn, here's the skinny.

* does NOT work:	rxvt -e c:/mksnt/sh.exe -L

* does work:	rxvt -e c:/mksnt/sh.exe -i -L

The problem was not in my initialization steps, although there might well
have been a cure to the problem along those lines.

According to the MKS documentation, the default behavior of the shell is
to run as an interactive shell, so the use of "-i" should be redundant.
Well, it appears that you can modify the shell behavior by explicitly using
the "-i" parameter.  It's not clear to me, but I'm not going to dig any
further right now.  It's now behaving as desired.

I'm still curious though.  Maybe someday when I have more time to kill.

Again, thanks to all for the input!
