Re: Cygwin, ssh, and top

My preference is still that Cygwin bash ssh work correctly with Debian 3.1, and
I believe the problem is with whatever package provides terminal stuff in Debian
3.1. I'll try to find the package and file a bug report.



It should be pointed out that rxvt can be used in place of CMD.EXE, which is what is started by the Cygwin icon created by setup.


If you want to do that, here is my cygwin.bat:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

rxvt -sl 10000 -sr +sk -si -sw -fg Green -bg Black -e /bin/bash --login -i


Obviously the path needs to be altered to whatever you have for your cygwin installation.
I find this to be much more usable than using bash inside cmd.exe - things actually work.

I think what David is saying here is that if there weren't a bug in Debian 3.1 terminal settings, this would work either way, just as it did in 3.0. Regardless of the workarounds for the bug, there is still a bug and it's worthwhile getting it fixed, if for no other reason than it will cut down on some future traffic on this list. ;-)
