Start Cygwin.bat As in /etc/defaults/Cygwin.bat installed by the base-files package? It's short: @echo off setlocal enableextensions set TERM= cd /d "%~dp0bin" && .\bash --login -i so if you are already in a cmd window, and typing cygwin.bat, then it is the same as if you are directly starting bash from cmd. By the way, I didn't know cygwin.bat was still around (I had to go hunting for it). Ages ago, that use to be the target of the shortcut installed to the desktop, but we switched quite a while ago to having the target point directly to mintty instead of the .bat file (since mintty is a LOT friendlier than running inside cmd). Also, what does 'chcp.com' say prior to you executing cygwin.bat, and are you then trying to call chcp.com WHILE bash is running? I have no idea if cygwin is even aware/amenable of live code page changes while running inside a cmd window; for now, I'm first trying to focus on the odd behavior in bash when the code page is constant. > > 3. My previous email http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-07/msg00388.html Making me chase URLs doesn't help as much as a single mail, with a step-by-step reproduction of what you did vs. what you expected, so that I can refer to a single window rather than multiple browser tabs when trying to follow those same steps. I know it's not always easy to do that (and to some extent, my debugging is also spread out), so it's not the end of the world; but it is food for thought. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
