OK, thanks for the explanation. But ... wouldn't that mean that any command executed would open a console window? In your other responses, you said, that using the shell is the most preferrable way. Unfortunatly, i cannot use the shell. The method is well understood. I could easily execute cygwin stuff by using: bash -c "exec \"\$0\" \"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"" program param1 param2 ... The program from which i want to execute pdflatex/pslatex/etc. (which is Texlipse, a Latex plugin for Eclipse) doesn't allow me to do so. But aside from that: is the shell really the preferred way of doing this? Doesn't the shell simply call execve again? Following what you said, it should be best to call bash.exe from run.exe to solve all the issues. So the question is: who does all the checks (shebang, etc.)? - the execve implementation? (which is cygwin, right?) - the shell? - both?
