Hello Cygwin. I struggle in creating a Windows shortcut that launches a command and initializes the environment the way that the Cygwin64 Terminal initializes.
C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash -l -c "set ssh -t c...@my.host screen -r -d weechat" I am aware that "bash -c" behaves much differently and does source $HOME shell customizations /etc/profile, .bash_profile, .profile - right? I thought "-l" login shell was the solution. I tried sourcing /etc/profile; .bash_profile and .profile but this doesn't make fix anything. C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash -l -c "source /etc/profile; set ssh -t c...@my.host screen -r -d weechat" The issue is that LANG is not properly set and even if I set it manually before entering SSH with a "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" (where I know my host has the locales properly set). Why would we have to run "bash -c" on shortcuts ? Isn't sending a command to mintty.exe supported or is the culprit cygwin?
