Hi.

I have been trying to get an alias to work.

I start my bash shell from cygwin.bat with the following command:

bash --login -i -c 'rxvt -geometry 80x29 -sb -sl 10000 -bg Black -fg
green -bd LightSeaGreen -fn Courier -font 7x15'




Try launching rxvt like this:


C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 80x29 -sb -sl 10000 -bg Black -fg
green -bd LightSeaGreen -fn Courier -font 7x15 -e /usr/bin/bash
--login -i



Hurrah, that worked.
Thanks :-)
Kind regards.


Then I set an alias.
I've tried ~/.bashrc ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile,
but can't get the alias to 'take'.




It's fine in ~/.bashrc




Thanks for any help.
Kind regards.
