Re: Running a command on cygwin launch

["Wynfield Henman" <wynfield at gmail dot com>]

Larry,
 at the prompt type:   echo $HOME

then put the BASH comnmands you want to be executed in the
$HOME/.bash_profile   file.  If there isn't one, make one ( a plain
text file with /n line endings).

Normally this is were you set enviroment variables, etc.

Cheers.
