cygstart is so useful that I want type less keys:
alias of=cygstart #on cygwin-1.5
or:
function of ()
{
if which "$1" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
if [[ "$1" == of ]]; then
local file=`which cygstart`;
else
local file="`which \"$1\"`";
fi;
shift;
cygstart "$file" "$@";
else
cygstart "$@";
fi
} #on cygwin-1.7, because we must specify full path now
oc is my name for `open containing folder', and I peeked into source of
Firefox to write it:
function oc ()
{
cygstart `which explorer.exe` /n,/select,\""`cygpath -alw \"$1\"`"\"
}
It won't work for non-ascii file names though, as a Chinese, I feel
a bit sorry for that
