RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?


Gunnar,

I suggest putting an 'echo "$CYGWINSTARTHERE" >> /var/log/bashhere.log' in
your .bashrc before the 'cd' line.  Then, when you know exactly which
value $CYGWINSTARTHERE gets, try running your command with that value from
the cmd.exe window, and see what it says...
Once you've debugged this, don't forget to remove the 'echo' :-)
