I've actually been using this, and is MUCH better.
It should be the default IMHO.

I know, I know, I've said this before!  And it's only my personal preference.  


But I've had good results with [Windows Shortcut]runs: rxvt [displayparams] -e /usr/bin/login MyUserName.


This way the initial shell is selected from /etc/passwd, and all the 
user-associations are happy.

Just for your all information.  It's not sufficient to set $HOME
in a /etc/csh.* file.  Even worse, these files are actually only
executed when tcsh has found the $HOME directory.  $HOME must
really be set before tcsh has been started.

No, it did. It was my mistake. However, your response arrived before
the original message since you received it privately, so I didn't get
it before I replied.

Good point Michael!  It's always important to make sure that you're 
path is set up as you intend to use it.

Obviously I have missed the penultimate message in this thread. I

I have had similar problems in the past with bash and can reproduce
this one with tcsh. Use an absolute pathname to the login shell to get
it to work.

Try rxvt -e /usr/bin/tcsh -l

It also doesn't work for me without an absolute path, even if the
shortcut sets the directory to C:\cygwin\bin. It _does_ work if I use
./tcsh (or ./bash) instead of just tcsh. If it works for you, you
probably have . in your PATH. The documentation in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2-README suggests using an absolute path,
probably to avoid issues like this.

I don't get the expected login shell behavior when using tcsh like
this. I don't use tcsh, so I suspsect this is because I have no
/etc/csh.cshrc or /etc/csh.profile to tell tcsh how to set the home
environment variable. I'll let people who actually use tcsh deal with
this one. :-)

Ah.  That's the difference in my environment.  I always have HOME
set to something reasonable.

tcsh needs $HOME set _before_ it starts. Either start tcsh using
a batch file or set $HOME in your Windows env.

Did you try the -l flag I put in my response?  You didn't
mention it in your original message, which is why I suggested
it.  You won't get the parsing of the ~/.cshrc without it.

OK, must be a local installation difference.  Like I said, it 
works fine here for me.  The only time that I got something similar
to what you describe was when I mistakenly put double quotes around
the "tcsh -l" in rxvt invocation I suggested.  Obviously that was an
error which made rxvt exit immediately...

Running tcsh in rxvt

[Jerrad Pierce]

What's the best way to do this?
If you do rxvt -e tcsh (say from a shortcut).
The user's dotfile is not parsed (seemingly because home etc. don't get
correctly set from passwd), plus tab completion and history don't work.

I've got:
	bash --login -i -c "/bin/rxvt -e tcsh" &

But it seems like there really ought to be a way to avoid the seemingly
unnecessary invocation of bash and having it hanging around afterwards...

Of course:
	rxvt -e bash --login -i #from the rxvt documentation
doesn't work properly when invoking from outside of the cygwin environment
either; i.e. not from an exiisting bash --login -i session.
