Subject: rxvt won't stay running
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 09:45:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170622094542.GW1003@mrvideo.vidiot.com> (raw)

I've installed the latest (as of this writing) Cygwin base and a few other
packages.

I have a startup batch file on my XP box that I copied over to the new Win7
box (modifying the HOME variable to match the new box).

I also copied over the home directory from the XP box, so that I can get the
.z* setup files and scripts that I have in my bin directory.

But, when I run it, it just flashes and dies.

Here is the contents:
==========
@echo off


C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
set HOME=\cygwin\home\Brown

rxvt -e /bin/zsh --login -i
==========

Any ideas why it is failing?  Something you need me to look at?  It isn't
anything in the home files that I copied over from the XP box, because before
I did that, I tried starting and it flashed and died.
