rxvt startup w/o cygwin term?

[Troy Noble]

I am assuming you are using the non-X rxvt?  If so, this is how
I went about it.  If not, I'm not quite sure the same technique
would work... since I've not tried the X-enabled rxvt yet.

Open Windows Explorer, right mouse click and drag rxvt.exe onto the
desktop.  Select "Create Shortcut Here".  Rename it to "rxvt"
if desired (right mouse click | Rename).

Right click, Properties.  Change the shortcut to:

C:\cygwin\local\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 9999 -e bash --login

change the "Start In" directory to your home directory
(c:\home\tnoble is mine) or set it to c:\cygwin\bin.
Doesn't really matter really, it's a personal preference
thing.

hello,

I would like to be able to mouseclick and get an rxvt.

I tried substituting rxvt for bash in cygwin.bat but always get a
redundant cygwin window as well as an rxvt term. Although the cygwin
window can be dismissed its appearance is confusing and messy. I tried
the command as rxvt and bash -c rxvt with the same results.

thanks,
tom.
