I am building a application using the latest tools available via the cygwin
setup program. The application is supposed to open a separate DOS console
window, but all processing seems to occur within the context of the DOS console
window where I execute the program.
I have cut the program down to the code that just does the process creation. I
would want the following program to open a separate DOS window to ask me for a
password for the rexec command.
I built the test program with: gcc -mno-cygwin creprc.c -o creprc
Could someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?

#include <windows.h>
#include <shellapi.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
char buffer[128];
STARTUPINFO start;
PROCESS_INFORMATION child;
strcpy (buffer, "rexec testhost -l testuser testcommand");
memset (&start, 0, sizeof (start));
start.cb = sizeof (start);
start.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
start.wShowWindow = SW_NORMAL;
memset (&child, 0, sizeof (child));
if (CreateProcess (NULL, buffer, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0,
NULL, NULL, &start, &child))
{
CloseHandle (child.hThread);
CloseHandle (child.hProcess);
}
}
