Indeed! (I think...)


I have various links on desktop (to start Emacs, mrxvt, xfig, etc.) like this:

C:\cygwin-2\bin\run.exe bash -l -c 'rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix; XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &'

and 'experimentally' adding '&' reduces the number of processes, as shown by task manager...

so why
not do it like this instead:

%RUN% bash -l -c "exec XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error"

interesting... I will give it a try. But, in any case, it would be useful to know what Cygwin guys think.



Thanks, Angelo.
