That doesn't work. A window briefly flashes up and disappears.
I tried this
C:
chdir \cygwin\bin
rxvt -ls ... (no -e command: just let rxvt create the bash)
This produces a shell which is very screwed up. I set PS1="\w\$ "
in my .bash_profile, but it outputs a literal "\w\$ " instead of
substituting the current working directory for \w. Also I went
to see if my alias were defined and alias is not a valid command.
alias is a bash built-in command!!!
\w$ alias
alias: not found
How a shell could get that badly messed up is a bit
of a mystery to me. I also tried using run.exe as
suggested by Jason but it had the same problem.
