The backslashes in you command line have to be escaped i.e. instead of typing just '\' you have to type '\\'. This is because the shell, I assume you're using bash, threats the '\' character in a special fashion. Maybe you have to read the FAQ and other docu available at cygwin.com. Just a friendly advise :) > > leesb@leesb-kr ~ > $ /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/notepad <-- in this case, it's working fine. Yep - this is a absolute POSIX path, so no problems with it. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
