I just moved the cygwin installation. The "last" peculiarity I ran into
was that the login shell, with the shortcut "F:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe
-i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -", a ps showed
/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/bash
instead of /usr/bin/bash
I tracked this down the the windows setting for SHELL, the one you get
to from windows' SystemProperties dialog, which was
C:/cygwin64/bin/bash. The /etc/passwd file specifies /bin/bash.
Is this expected behavior? (Though I can see why SHELL is there and I'd
need to change it)
