I noticed with your setup I'm stuck with [loggedinuser]@[hostmachinename] ~
as my prompt is there a way to change the $user variable without editing /etc/profile ?? mainly to intercept that pesky USER="$(id -un)" to change it to something of my choosing in the bat file? ie Tee@[hostmachine] more specifically to convince the shell that "$(id -un)" or $USER is "TEE"? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
