Yes, .bashrc is not being invoked. That's precisely my problem. I don't
know why? How do I get it to invoke? Following are the lines from my
cygwin.bat:

@echo off
d:
chdir \cygwin\bin
bash --login -i

Thanks,

Satish

Make sure your HOME environment variable is set properly and that your
bashrc file is in the directory that HOME points to.  You can refer to 
the bash man and info pages for information and help with configuring
bash as well.

You will need to source it in the /etc/profile file.  I.E.: add the following
to /etc/profile:

. ~/.bashrc

.bashrc is not being invoked

[Satish Kamatkar]

Hello,

Yesterday I got cygwin on Windows 987 and am trying to get the filename
completion - case insensitive working without any luck.

1..I have installed cygwin in c:\cygwin\
2..I inspected my HOME variable by doing
    $echo $HOME
   which shows
   /home/satish/
3..I put .bashrc under /home/satish which has one line : shopt -s nocaseglob
4..I logged off and started bash shell again by clicking start -> Cygwin
Solutions -> Cygwin 1.1 Bash Shell
5..Then I typed:
    $shopt
6..It still shows nocaseglob  as off ???

Anyone knows the solution? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Satish
