The awk part seems fine, but I don't know about the "mount -u". That
will only match if you have a user-mode cygdrive set. As you can see
from my example, that doesn't include me (or anyone else that installs
cygwin choosing "All users" in setup.exe.)
If you're going to use awk then you can simplify and not bother with
grep and tail, they're extraneous.
mount -m | awk -F '"' '/--change-cygdrive-prefix/ { print $2 }'

Well, maybe my installation is hosed then. I have installed for all
users, but mount -m returns
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin" "/"
mount -u -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/"
so...
mount -m | awk -F '"' '/--change-cygdrive-prefix/ { print $2 }'
results in
/cygdrive
/
so, I can see that the grep is not needed, but since there is more than
one output line, tail, head or the like
would be needed, no?
