Very Computer

Hi,

I was trying to make the script work (on Cygwin), but it didn't run as i
expected.
Before x-win lauch process was finished, the commands followed were finished
*already* in Bash-window, rather than in x-win.

What should I do ? Thanks

#!/bin/bash

startx
cd /cygdrive/c
pwd

For this particular script, x-win was launched but the commands followed
never ran either in bash-window or x-win; Sorry but didn't find answers to
my difficulty in those archives. Thanks

startx &
will start x, and the following commands should be executed while x is
running.
However, in your example, "pwd" will print to standard output, and when
the script ends you will be in the directory where you were before.
The "pwd" output could be mixed in with all the X startup messages.
If you want something printed on the X screen, you can use xterm or
xmessage.
