I always had to comment that out (I run startxwin at startup). Instead of xterm, you may consider using rxvt (which has the advantage of working with or without X). I don't use cygwin.bat anymore; just a shortcut with rxvt some other options -e bash --login Hope this helps.

start xterm automatically
I'd like to set it so that when I run cygwin it automatically launches an xterm shell but Im having problems. I normally run cygwin and then run startxwin.bat (which works fine). I can not just put startxwin.bat in .bash_profile because it will loop opening shells (it resourced .bash_profile everytime which in turns opens a new xterm). I thought this might because the xterm I was opening up in startxwin.bat was a login shell but I changed the xterm command from -ls to +ls (a non login shell, and thus it should not resource .bash_profile but it still does). Ideally I want to run cygwin, have it automatically open a login xterm shell, and then auto close the cygwin shell. Any suggestions. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/start-xterm-automatically-tp25375737p25375737.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Is there a reason you cannot start startxwin.bat the same way? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
