- Subject: Window shortcut to launch a Mintty login bash on a given directory
Hello,
Putting the following command line in a Windows shortcut opens a login
bash in the /home/User_name directory (~):
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e bash --login
Now I would like to do the same in the /home/User_name/foobar directory.
I tried:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e bash --login -c "cd foobar"
with the result that the Mintty window vanishes.
I also tried to add
C:\cygwin\home\User_name\foobar
in the "Start in" box of the windows shortcut. With no effect.
Thank you for your help.
Jean JOHNER
