Hi!
I'd like to use cygstart to launch a couple of log windows to monitor server activity, much like the Windows START command. However, cygstart eats *all* the arguments, not only the ones before the executable. Is there something I've missed?
The usage suggests otherwise: Usage: cygstart [OPTION]... FILE [ARGUMENTS]
Sample session:
/cygdrive/l/bin $ cygstart tail -f /var/log/fetchmail.log
Unable to start 'tail': There is no application associated with the given file name extension.
/cygdrive/l/bin $ cygstart tail [opens a new window waiting for stdin (as it should).]
/cygdrive/l/bin $ cygstart tail --version [displays cygstart's version, not tail's] cygstart version 1.0, by Michael Schaap
Let Windows start a program or open a file or URL.
/cygdrive/l/bin $ cygstart "tail --version" Unable to start 'tail --version': The specified file was not found.
Cheers, Rob
