Greetings, Lee!
How to open a web page (remote or local) or launch IE from the mintty/bash
command line?
I've tried the following:
$ cygstart "http://www.google.com";
$ cygstart index.html # local page
$ "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe"
$ cygstart "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe"
If IE is already open, the first two examples work, but otherwise,
for all 4, IE flashes a window, which immediately closes.
how about
cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "www.google.com"
I'd say,
cmd /c start "" https://google.com/
Both seem to start the *default* browser, in my case, Firefox.
You need to be explicit if you want IE and it's not your default.
