I believe it's correct to assume that the invocation
of bash via ssh is a login shell, not an interactive 
shell.  Cygwin puts its path additions in /etc/profile.
The corallary for a user would be ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.bash_login as the INVOCATION section of the bash man page
suggests.

Subject: Bash PATH via ssh


Hello, first post.

From a remote machine I'm doing something like:

    ssh 192.168.0.150 'echo $PATH'

All the path appears to be set to is the Windows system path. I've put path
amendments into /.bashrc and ~/.bashrc. As well as in the bash.bashrc files
in /etc.  Where do I put the path statements so they have effect when
invoked from ssh so I can get things like /bin into the path?

(I've read man bash invocation and searched the mailing list archives.)

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks. I now have ensured that ~/.profile, ~./bash_profile, ~/.bash_login,
/etc/profile all contain the lines:

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH"
export PATH

But still when I do ssh 192.168.0.150 'echo $PATH' it returns only the
windows path items. What am I missing here?

Any help appreciated.
Michael

Slightly off topic:

I've been trying to compile "gocr" in cygwin with limited success (even when
I get it to build,  it doesn't work very reliably),  has anyone had any luck
with another OCR/barcode recognition package in Cygwin? ( I need something
to reliably be able to extract barcode data from an imagefile as part of a
perl script...)
Thanks
Bruce D

The Cygwin sshd passes the PATH that exists in the system environment.
Edit it by right clicking My Computer, etc..

Uhm... in theory, there should be at least "/bin" somewhere in $PATH.
The reason is that `cygrunsrv' appends ":/bin" to $PATH prior to
calling the service application (sshd) to assure that cygwin1.dll is
found in $PATH.

Other than that you can use the ability of cygrunsrv to set environment 
variables also to set $PATH:

  cygrunsrv -I sshd  ...  -e "PATH=/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:..."

Just don't forget to add all Windows system paths, too.
