You're welcome. I've written a few batch files that call Bash scripts, but to be honest, I seldom get these right the first time--there is usually some aspect of the transition from Windows/DOS to Cygwin that I overlook. Since you're not giving yours any arguments, though, it should be pretty straightforward. I think the following should work. @echo off C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/X11R6/bin/sd.sh Note the --login argument to bash. That insures that your script sees a normal login environment, including a proper PATH.

I think that the DOS line endings were the problem. Once I did the conversion this script worked exactly as I wanted.

My guess is that you created that file with DOS line endings. Try converting it to use Unix line endings, cd /usr/X11R6/bin d2u sd.sh then try executing it again. Also, I would recommend putting such scripts that you create yourself in /usr/local/bin rather than in a system directory such as /usr/X11R6/bin. Doing so will make it easier to keep track of your scripts and will make it less likely that you will lose them when doing an update of Cygwin.

Checking if the X Server is running
Hi, Pardon my ignorance, and that I am never good in this stuff. I have noticed that the startxwin.bat starts the X Server using %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error Is there any way of checking if the X Server is currently running? Because if you try this again, it gives you A fatal error which does not crash your computer but is a bit annoying to me. I was thinking of making copies of this batch file startxwin.bat to start various progrsms by clicking. However when the second application starts up it pops this dialog box. I was wondering if there is a way to avoid this. Thanks a lot, O.O. ___ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo!
