>From the recent discussion, I thought it a little silly that all the different incantations only worked for a particular shell/window combo. After a read of some older mailing list stuff discussing different ways of doing things I came up with a few modifications to the files Gerrit posted [diffs attached] It allows you to do any of: ./install bash ./install rxvt ./install [batch] And goes off and sets up your registry (and start up files in the case of batch) to do things in your preferred method. It is relatively easy to add command line incantations for other shells so that they can be provided for as well. Also: 1) Tries to leverage any existing cygwin.bat to create cygwin_indir.bat, if thats what you want. 2) Stops repeated additions to ~/.bashrc for repeated installs 3) handles missing ~/.bashrc 4) Uses bare bones rxvt startup line so the users .Xdefaults are used Gerrit, would you be interested in adding these changes (or similar) to the file you're already hosting? The FAQ can then deal with "but I want Cygwin Prompt Here to start ?sh, not bash" [assuming appropriate incantations are added]. Dave.
