Thanks a lot René for this tip. At least after trying
this out, understood that something is wrong, in my
cygwin installation.
If I log in (either locally and remotely) I get the
bash prompt, but the .bashrc is not sourced. If I then
type ?bash? on the command line then this file gets
sourced.
Trying to use ?w? from another terminal, would list
the users and the ttys. Under the ?WHAT? column I see
??bash? in case of a simple login ? but if I type
?bash? under the login I then see ?/usr/bin/bash ?l?
This means that when I login some other bash (other
than /usr/bin/bash) is called.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
O.O.
