INFO ==== The run utility has been moved from X-startup-scripts to a new package. run.exe will start console programs and hide their console. This is useful for creating desktop shortcuts to XWin, xterm or using ssh for windows ssh clients. The X-startup-scripts and X-start-menu-icons packages have been updated to use the new run package. UPDATE ====== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'run' from the 'Base' category. If you've already installed the X-startup-scripts or X-start-menu-icons package then 'run' will already be selected. Otherwise click on the 'skip' field next to 'run' until '1.1.5-2' is displayed.
