Dear Holger,

	In addition to my previous mail, I tried the
following: 

I changed the shell script to:  (Called it
/usr/local/bin/sd1.sh)
----------------------
#!/bin/sh
if `ps | grep XWin > /dev/null`
   then
   	echo "XWin is Already Started"
   else
     	echo "XWin is Not Started"
   fi
----------------------------

I then typed at the Windows CMD prompt: 
C:\>C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l /usr/local/bin/sd1.sh

To get the message: 
XWin is Already Started

Now I modified the above shell script to: 

----------------------
#!/bin/sh
if `ps | grep XWin > /dev/null`
   then
   	xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l
   else
   	XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
	xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l
   fi
-----------------------------

I now tried the same command as before: (With Setting
the DISPLAY)
C:\> SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0; C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
-l /usr/local/bin/sd1.sh

I now get 
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0;
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l /usr/local/bin/sd1.sh

I am not sure where I am going wrong. 
Regards,
O.O.
