Try this approach to access a page using a plugin requiring the container: cygstart http://bbc.co.uk winpid='' while [ -z "$winpid" ] do winpid=$(ps -W | awk '/plugin-container/ { print $4 ; print $0 > "/dev/stderr" }') sleep 1 done echo dumper plugin-container $winpid dumper plugin-container $winpid ls -gGho *.core output: 5884 0 0 5884 ? 0 23:50:02 C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe dumper plugin-container 5884 -rw-r--r--+ 1 120M Feb 13 23:51 plugin-container.core -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
