"rxvt -e bash" From Batch File

"rxvt -e bash" From Batch File

[Bubba Jones]

When I envoke "rxvt -e bash" from a command line
I get rxvt with bash and bash sourced my .bashrc
file.  However, when I put "rxvt -e bash" in a
batch file, launch the batch file, I get rxvt
with bash, but my .bashrc file is not sourced...

Does anyone know why my batch file doesn't source
.bashrc and/or how I can get the batch file to
source?  I'm guessing I'm starting a login
bash session, but I'm not certain...

Try using rxvt -e /bin/bash --login -i
You can specify all manner of things there as well..
EG: black bg and green text: -fg Green -bg Black

I think I found the problem.  My $HOME variable is
set to another location than I want.  Before using
rxvt I explicitly set HOME in my .bashrc...  When
I set HOME in the regular bash prompt and run
"rxvt -e /bin/bash --login -i" all is well.  So, my
problem now is, how do I set my HOME in a batch
file?  If that can't be done, how can I set HOME
before I call rxvt?

Hmmmm...

Have you tried this:

set the dos/windows environment variable - SHELL=/usr/bin/bash

and then you should be able to execute

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg grey -sl 2048 -sb -fn 9x16 -ls

or something similar. The -ls tells rxvt to treat it as a login shell. All the rest is just for looks.

That didn't work.  My environment variables might
be messed up.  When I call the regular cygwin bash
prompt from a batch file, I have the following in
the batch file:

C:\Cygwin\bin\bash --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i

That explicitly tells bash to source my .bashrc.
Does rxvt have anything like that?

You can permanently edit environment variables in Windows using
control panel, system, advanced, environment variables.  Or for
a single use, you should try 'set /?' in a cmd.com window, for ideas
on setting environment variables in batch files.

Alternatively, you could do:
rxvt -e /bin/bash --login --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i

Thus combining your current configuration with the way you want it to be...
