From: David Karr <davidmichaelkarr@gmail.com> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Some remote windows opened from batch file abort after a few seconds, unless started from rxvt Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:10:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <CAA5t8VrktzpDuwDpg75FrwxKODLrPjoSZ=Ow0HRpzp7bNmzOKw@mail.gmail.com> (raw) I have a Win7 laptop with Cygwin and an Ubuntu desktop box. I have some simple scripts that start a process on the Ubuntu box and display the window on the Win7 box. I have a desktop shortcut that executes a batch file that looks like this: C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash -lc "/home/me/bin/dtsts" The "dtsts" batch file looks like this: #! /bin/bash dt /home/me/bin/sts The "dt" script does this: #! /bin/bash ssh -fY me@nn.nn.nn.nn "$@" When I double-click this shortcut on the desktop, Eclipse presents the splash screen, and then the main window. It chugs for a few seconds, and then disappears. I also see the DOS window show up and go away quickly, and then an rxvt window appears and then goes away after a few seconds. These two windows appear and disappear before the Eclipse splash screen appears. if I instead bring up a local rxvt window and then run "dtsts", Eclipse starts up fine and stays up. These examples are for starting 'sts" (SpringSource Tool Suite). I have a similar chain for "term" (gnome-terminal), Emacs, and Firefox. The first two do not have this problem. When I run the Firefox example, I never even see the window. It still works fine when I run "dtfirefox" from an rxvt window. Note that I'm not manually backgrounding any of these scripts.
