Try the "run" utility: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/index.html I use the following shortcut to start an xterm: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xterm.exe -display localhost:0 -ls -bg #000000 -rv -fn 10x20 -rw -cu -si -sk -sb -sl 5000 +cn -T local_xterm -n local_xterm Beware that by default run maxes out at 20 command line arguments. If you need more, change the MAX_ARGS define in run.h before compiling. Igor On Wed, 18 Sep 2002, Deragon, Hans wrote: > Found the same problem.
