Re: PATH and SystemRoot oddity

First off, you could have actually removed the offending entries from the
PATH using something like

OFFENDING_ENTRY="/cygdrive/c/ClearCase/bin"
PATH="`echo "$PATH" | sed "s#:$OFFENDING_ENTRY##"`"

Alternatively, if you want to translate any Win32 path to a Cygwin
(POSIX) path, use the "cygpath" utility, like this:

PATH=${PATH}:"`cygpath -u "$SYSTEMROOT/system32"`"

Glad it helped. Out of curiousity, which one of the two solutions above did you mean?

Originally, I was looking for something like 'cygpath' in it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the other solution:


OFFENDING_ENTRY="/cygdrive/c/ClearCase/bin"
PATH="`echo "$PATH" | sed "s#:$OFFENDING_ENTRY##"`"

I'm now modifying it to remove paths with 'Rational' in it. I'd rather not modify the original 'profile' if I can help it. Makes it easier to destroy cygwin and reinstall from scratch.
