Question Cygwin settings
I was using an app that ran on cygwin, and it came with a slimmed down version of cygwin. Eventually I decided to just do a full download of cygwin. After I got it set up I noticed a couple of rather annoying differences. one is that before on the slimmed down version if I wanted to execute something all I had to do was type the file name, on the full version I have to type exec before the name. Thats not the really important problem though. Now when I execute applications after I am done with them, and I exit, instead of going back to cygwin, everything just closes. All I can think of is that there must be settings somewhere I have to change. But after googling forever I can't find anything. Thanks for any help.

NAME

       whohas - find packages in various distributions' repositories

SYNTAX

       whohas [--no-threads] [--shallow] [--strict] [-d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]] pkgname

DESCRIPTION

       whohas  is  a command line tool to query package lists from the Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware (and linuxpack-
       ages.net), Source Mage, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, MacPorts and Cygwin distributions.

OPTIONS

       --no-threads
	      Don't use multiple threads to query package lists (will be much slower)

       --shallow
	      Limit to one call per server. Faster, but loses some information, typically package size and release date.

       --strict
	      List only those packages that have exactly pkgname as their name.

       -d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]
	      Queries only for packages for the listed distributions.  Recognised  values  for	Dist1,	Dist2,	etc.  are  "archlinux",  "cygwin",
	      "debian", "fedora", "fink", "freebsd", "gentoo", "mandriva", "macports", "netbsd", "openbsd", "opensuse", "slackware", "sourcemage",
	      and "ubuntu".

       pkgname
	      Package name to query for

FILES

       whohas uses various files in ~/.whohas to cache package lists for some distributions.
