'bash' is a red herring in this case. Try this: batch1.bat: REM This is batch1.bat batch2.bat test echo back from batch2.bat exit batch2.bat: REM this is batch2.bat echo %1 echo bash echo %1 When I execute batch1.bat in a DOS window, I never get the echo back from batch2.bat. Notice I removed the exit from batch2.bat. Methinks that invoking batch2.bat replaces the current process (in UNIX speak) so that the rest of batch1.bat is never executed. And now that I have shown this thread to have no Cygwin content whatsoever, I think it is time to end it. Or else, we're flame-bait for sure. -- Matthew -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
