Done, I used -L (instead of -l) to avoid colliding with other newgrp(1) implementations (see https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client/commit/65cec8f29cda6b8f4a1446203f6ab1cb988496ad?diff=unified&w=1). But in general I think Linux, Solaris/Illumos and Cygwin should standatise sg(1) with features like "-c cmdline" (like $ bash -c cmdline #) and -L (list groups suitable for -g), and make "-g groupname" mandatory. > - WinSG should be installed in C:\Windows\system32\ alongside cmd.exe Not yet, all stuff for the Cygwin install of the ms-nfs41-client goes into the Cygwin /bin && /sbin dirs. > - PowerShell plugin would be cool I have no idea yet how to do that (yet). > - Explorer Plugin to switch groups Same problem...
