I'm not finding the information. I'm searching for the sequence of events that goes from clicking the shortcut to the presentation of a command prompt (usually bash) I'm trying to solve a persistent problem it's happened to me on four different workstations. I've wiped everything, and re-installed from scratch several times, and my problem reasserts it's self. I haven't seen it mentioned. but almost everything else is :-) so if I can figure it out, i might be able to solve my problem. + I'm looking for a pointer to documentation relating to the script startup sequence. My problem? Each time that I start I get an error message that indicates that in some script (not sure which ) sed is being executed, but isn't found. It's true sed.exe is not in /bin. on several occasions, I have reinstalled the sed package (using setup.cmd and use the same setup method that originally installed the current installation) Two day's ago I reinstalled the sed package again. I copied the sed.exe to /usr/local/bin and to ssed.exe in /bin or /usr/bin. today sed.exe is missing -and- /usr/local/bin is empty. ssed.exe is still there. + how does the directory structure get setup? (is /usr/local/bin being recreated from somewhere else? + is there something that is uninstalling the sed package? (other files in the sed package ie documentation are also missing) however the package manifest (used when installing, upgrading or reinstalling) insists that the package is already installed something is walking on top of my installation, and I don't know why. it's likly in some script. The only script sequence that I haven't traced is the startup sequence kermit tensmeyer at g mail com something else -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
