I've been using rxvt with Cygwin for years and I must thank Chuck Wilson and anyone else that's helped maintain it and the Cygwin as a whole!
I've recently been having trouble with my locales accessing Linux servers through ssh - gcc errors were coming out with horrible characters, and I'm sure I got it working once, but I can't remember how I did it! So I thought I'd finally try minty and it works perfectly - so I guess I'm a convert. But I've got a question regarding the command line options. I used to have a bunch of shortcuts to start an rxvt to ssh to my remote servers but it took some trial and error to get it working so that it is (briefly) a login shell to get my sshconfig settings. So I've converted from this shortcut: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e ssh servername To this: C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe bash --login -c "ssh servername" Which works, but is a little cumbersome. Am I doing this the best way, or am I missing something obvious?
