I modified Cygwin.bat to the following, 
bash --login -i -c 'cd /cygdrive/c  exec bash'
and it still exits.

I think you can get the effect you want by changing your home directory 
in /etc/passwd to /cygdrive/c

Bash -c without exiting

2007-09-25 Thread patrickinminneapolis 

I'd like to drop to the current directory like this,  

bash --login -i -c 'Drop to current directory' 

without exiting cygwin. Thanks.

Not Cygwin-specific.  Try

bash --login -i -c 'cd /tmp  exec bash'
