The xhere script should pass y:\apps to cygpath to get the cygwin path, which
should be /cygdrive/y/apps. IIRC /cygdrive/y may not be visible via ls, but it
should be usable. I'm guessing the path is failing the directory test... in
which
case adding a trailing else to always cd $CHERE_DIR would fix things for you
I think I've narrowed down the problem to the terminal emulator.
First - I did try modifying xhere to do a "cd $CHERE_DIR" (and then
$NETWORK_PATH)
but neither variable worked.
I then noticed that if I start bash from a cmd.exe emulator (and adjust the
path to
Include /bin), that I can see (and cd to) a mapped drive. But I cannot "see"
(via ls)
the mapped drive when using mintty.
From cmd.exe+bash: (Y: is the mapped drive)

I suspect that whatever is going on that affects "ls" and "cd" is also
affecting chere/xhere.
Not sure what the next step should be.
Can you run the following commands from mintty running bash vs cmd
running bash:
cygpath -u "y:\apps"
test -d /cygdrive/y/apps
echo $?
Result of the first command should be /cygdrive/y/apps
2nd command shouldn't output anything
Result of 3rd command should be 0 (true)
Dave.
