- Subject: Bug in $PATH initialization?
I am trying to get "bash -i" to start up with $PATH having
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
at the beginning. I believe I need to do this without any init file
running so I set the windows Path variable to contain the
corresponding windows directories first. So I set Path in cmd.exe with
set Path=c:\cygwin\bin;%Path%
set Path=c:\cygwin\usr\bin;%Path%
set Path=c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%Path%
and then I do
bash -i
However $PATH starts with
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
I thought the last dir above should be /bin, not /usr/bin.
Is this intentional or is it a bug. If it is intentional can I somehow
do what I want another way?
