Hi!
----
Is there an official way to enter the Cygwin command line (e.g. bash
login) from Windows cmd.exe, e.g. if someone ssh's into a Windows
machine he/she ends/up in a cmd.exe and not bash...
----
Bye,
Roland

You may run your favourite shell from the bin directory of your Cygwin installation:
"C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\tcsh.exe"
replace " C:\Program Files" with your target Cygwin installation directory root.

Years ago this was the default way to start cygwin (I don't think I've
changed it, but who knows??)
C:\cygwin>type Cygwin.bat
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i
There's a Cygwin.bat in /etc/defaults that needs to be copied to the
cygwin root directory:
C:\cygwin>type etc\defaults\Cygwin.bat
@echo off
setlocal enableextensions
set TERM=
cd /d "%~dp0bin" && .\bash --login -i
C:\cygwin>
"cd /d" - Use the /D switch to change current drive in addition to
changing current directory for a drive.
"%~dp0" gives the path of the script, so if the .bat file is in
C:\cygwin then "%~dp0bin" expands to C:\cygwin\bin

On the other hand, you could also stop the Windows ssh server, start the
cygwin ssh server, to arrive in a cygwin shell directly.

Or just run the Cygwin SSH server on a different port (don't forget to
open it in the Firewall) and have it both ways.

Thanks ;-)
Turns out my problem was simply that I forgot that just typing "bash"
only gives me an interactive shell, which sources only the interactive
shell configs (e.g. /etc/ksh.kshrc + ~/.kshrc for ksh93, and
/etc/bash.bashrc + ~/.bashrc for bash), but not the login configs
(e.g. /etc/profile + ~/.profile).
So the simple fix was just to type:
C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login
or
C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\ksh93.exe --login
----
Bye,
Roland
P.S.: Which reminds me - is there a way to contribute a Cygwin ksh93 package ?

We would greatly appreciate a Korn Shell 93 package, preferably with
some POSIX builtin commands.
Thanks,

Found 6 matches for Korn

POSIX only standardizes the POSIX shell sh (install man-pages-posix for docs).
Cygwin provides the dash POSIX compatible shell preinstalled as a base package.
Each shell provides its own builtins which may be similar, or have differnet
names, and sufficient differences, to keep shell programmers in a job.

I know about that, but it has only ksh88 compatibility. What would be
great is the real ksh93, with IEEE754-style floating point math,
compound variables, and regex with ~(X) (egrep with logical AND),
~(E), .sh.match pattern matching facilities.
Thanks,
Martin
