Hello Forum,
I am new to cygwin.
I am trying to create a .bat file so I can start cygwin from w7 windows menu.
I am looking for next:
1. new shell is created with next prompts:
gene@len /cygdrive/c
$
2. Backspace and arrow keys can move cursor to beginning.
At the default installation, I can only get this type of shell if I run 2 steps:
1. c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
2. and in new shell I run: start bash.
Second question:
I am running below code and shell dissapear.
I could catch the message before it happens. Do you know what seems to be a
problem?
for k in `ls`
do
print "here is $k"
done
Message:
save: fork_level=1 SetHandleInformation() failed: fd 0 handle 0x3 type 2: Th
e parameter is incorrect.
