Hongxun,
Here are the elements you need:
For BASH users (equivalents presumably exist in other shells):
% help test
...
-h FILE True if file is a symbolic link.
-L FILE True if file is a symbolic link.
...
% man readlink
% cygpath --help
Now, write a BASH (or other shell) script that, after using the
aforementioned primitives to get a native Windows name for the target file,
invokes:
cmd /q /c start /b WindowsFileName
You will then no longer need to construct one-off BAT files to open files
from Cygwin. See my message from yesterday with the Subject "CYGWIN=ntsec
Pragmattics" (sic) for a caveat about file permissions and use of the "cmd
..." invocation I mentioned just above.
