Hi all,
I sincerely hope that this is an active list. My question is this:
Is there a way to create a batch script or perl script in Windows NT that
starts the cygwin bash shell and sets the starting directory? Something
along the lines of (perl):
exec "c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash -dc:\\myStartDir" or die "bummer
dude:$!\n";
or (bat):
start c:\cygwin\bin\bash -dc:\\myStartDir
where -d specifies the directory to start (I know -d isn't it, just tell me
how).
Any and all assistance appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

btw: I know this is ignoring many security issues, consider this a
single-user installation...
