Re: a suggestion for added link in the start menu

Other random ramblings.
Also nice would be a command line tool similar to apt-get to install
"as if from setup.exe" package x or y and its dependencies (exists?).
Then you could run a command on it like 'update all my current
packages!' from the command line or what not.  Perhaps  setup.exe
could do the same thing. But anyway just some thoughts. Thanks for
cygwin!

There are command line options for setup.exe:


setup --quiet-mode --no-shortcuts --no-startmenu --no-desktop

I have a .bat file that stops the cygwin services (like sshd), run the setup with these flags and starts the services again.
