Hi Reid,
Thanks for your answer. Nevertheless I don't have my problem solved yet.
If I make: $ cat ./launchit.sh
I obtain : cat: ./launchit.sh: No such file or directory
The idea was for you to create a launchit.sh file with the
contents given, starting the the #!/bin/bash line. The poster
ran cat specifically to show you what needed to be in that file.
Note that launchit.sh should have execute permissions set (e.g.,
via "chmod +x launchit.sh".
Besides it seems I am not using xterm.
If I make: $ nohup xterm -e $@&
I obtain : nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
nohup: failed to run command `xterm': No such file or directory
Indeed. Either you don't have xterm installed, or else its
directory is on on your PATH. You can check your path by
typing "echo $PATH", for example.
But it sounds to me as if you are new to Unix-like commands,
which makes me wonder why you're using cygwin in the first place ...
(Not meaning to be rude; just wondering if maybe there's a
better ay to get at what you really want.)
