Can not start cygwin shells from Console
Submitted by on Tuesday, 24 January, 2012 - 12:34
I have a Console (System) window on Windows 7. From there, I can easily open a Windows command shell by typing "cmd". However if I invoke a Cygwin zsh or bash, this hangs forever.
I invoked them like this:
zsh -i
bash --login
The same happens, if I first create a cmd shell from jEdit console, and from *this* invoke zsh or bash.
Doing the same from a "normal" Windows CMD console works well. I wonder what special environment the jEdit console creates, so that the Cygwin shells don't work.
