CYGWIN small tip for xterm invocation
A small tip for running xtrem under cygwin.
- I use cygwin whenever I use windows and can not not install a virtual linux machine.
- cygwin is very high quality product. I use its x-server and launch xterm.
- I noticed that ~/.profile is not sourced, when I open a terminal although bash has been selected.
- Therefor I changed the invocation command to:
alias my_xtermb='xterm -fn 10x20 -bg darkblue -fg white -e bash --login -i'
-
But sometimes the default is BASH and you may want TCSH:
xterm -fn 10x20 -bg darkblue -fg white -e "tcsh"
