From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Alex Malinovich" To: Subject: cygwin.bat Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2001 15:04:00 -0000 Message-id: <001001c138b2$31815c20$0800a8c0@TheLoveShack.local> X-SW-Source: 2001-09/msg00405.html Just a quick observation. Cygwin.bat calls "bash --login -i" to start cygwin. Wouldn't it be a bit better to instead use 'start' to launch bash? e.g. "start bash --login -i" By using 'start' bash is called, and then the batchfile continues execution. (it ends) This would alleviate the issue of "Terminate batch job?" messages that occasionally crop up when closing the window. It also allows more than one instance of bash to be called by using a keyboard shortcut. I have ctrl-alt-c set to call cygwin.bat. The only problem is that if I already have a window open, it won't allow me to open a second one that way since the batch file is still "running". Using 'start', I can now open as many windows as I want. AFAIK the 'start' command has been implemented in all MS OS's since 95 so compatibility shouldn't be an issue. Just a suggestion. -Alex -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
