I am running cygwin on a Windows 2000 machine.

I would like to run a bash script with a few changes in the environment. I 
would expect this to work:

    bash --rcfile init.sh script

But it does not seem that bash retain any of the changes I have made in init.sh?

As a small example I have tried using these two minimal files

init.sh:
    hello () { echo "hello world"; }
    alias listdir=ls

script:
    hello
    listdir

I get the following output:

    $ bash --rcfile init.sh script
    script: line 1: hello: command not found
    script: line 2: listdir: command not found

    $ bash --rcfile init.sh

    $ hello
    hello world

    $ listdir
    init.sh  script

    $ ./script
    ./script: line 1: hello: command not found
    ./script: line 2: listdir: command not found

What can I do to make my changes work in the script?

Best Regards,
  Arto Stimms
