Yes, that would fix it. But I think we have a bug here. In cygwin I get: $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINN T:/cygdr ive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tool s/BINN:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/ULTRAE~1:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/blat184:/cygdr ive/c/AP I360/Programs:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 4.0/Distillr:/cygdrive/c/x mlconvert:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/msxsl:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/PKWARE:/cygd rive/c/Program Files/PKWARE/PKZIPC:/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1_02/bin:/cygdrive/c/TIFFl Ib
In DOS I get: C:\WINNT>bash -c "echo $PATH /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/ Wbem:/cy gdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/BINN:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/U LTRAE~1:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/blat184:/cygdrive/c/API360/Programs:/cygdri ve/c/Pro gram Files/Adobe/Acrobat 4.0/Distillr:/cygdrive/c/xmlconvert:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/msxsl:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/PKWARE:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/PKWARE/P KZIPC:/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1_02/bin:/cygdrive/c/TIFFlib They shouldn't be different. --- Lisbeth Kellogg Office: 651-675-2610 -----Original Message----- From: Elfyn McBratney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 4:33 PM To: Lisbeth Kellogg Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem call a cygwin command from a dos batch file On Tue, 29 Jul 2003, Lisbeth Kellogg wrote: > I guess I found the answer to my own question.

Like find, rexec, ... Having 'C:\Cygwin\bin' at the front of your PATH environment variable would have solved this.
