From: David Karr <davidmichaelkarr@gmail.com> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Can display remote X window from bash, but not from DOS window Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 17:08:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <CAA5t8Vp6FqXGUdW5e2g1BiEXhRsr0P7mLn8JRBLV152e7EmLzQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw) I have a Win7 laptop with Cygwin and a Ubuntu desktop box. I can ssh from the laptop with shared keys and X11 forwarding, so that I can run a simple command line in a Bash shell on the Win7 box and it will open up the window for the remote process on my Win7 box. What I'm having trouble with is setting up a Win7 desktop shortcut that will do this. I have a simple Bash script called "dt" (stands for "desktop") that calls "ssh" and passes the scripts command line parameters to ssh. As I said, this works fine when I call it from a Bash shell window. I wrote a DOS batch script that does something like this: c:\cygwin\bin\bash -cl "=pathprefix=/dt =remote command line=" This bombs with numerous errors.
