Got a program that starts under cygstart, but I'd
like to be able to start it without starting up the program
in a new window..so was trying cmd /c.
I compared env's and noted both PATH and TMP had been
converted back to the backslash using case, so I
did that manually:
if ((usecmd)); then
export TMP=$(cygpath -w $TMP)
my newpath=""
my sep=""
readarray -t pathar < <(echo -E "$PATH"|tr ":" "\n")
for p in "${pathar[@]}"; do
n=$(cygpath -w "$p")
newpath="$newpath$sep$n"
#echo -E "newpath=$newpath"
sep=";"
done
export Path=$newpath
fi
But no luck in launching (cygstart case works):
cd "$ldir" && {
if ((usecmd)); then
'c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe' /c "$lpath" "${args[@]}"
else
cygstart "$lpath" "${args[@]}"
fi
}
I use:
<file name="/usr/local/bin/cmd'>
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Copyright (C) 2018, cygSimple
# mailto:cygsim...@users.sourceforge.net
# https://sourceforge.net/p/cygsimple
# File: cmd
`cygpath "$COMSPEC"` "$@"
</file>
and
<file name="/usr/local/bin/start">
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Copyright (C) 2018, cygSimple
# mailto:cygsim...@users.sourceforge.net
# https://sourceforge.net/p/cygsimple
# File: start
cmd /c start `cygpath -w -- "${@//&/^&}"`
</file>
The file /usr/local/bin/start uses the file /usr/local/bin/cmd because
of PATH.
I use another such file to start the Windows version of gvim.
<file name="/usr/local/bin/gvim">
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Copyright (C) 2018, cygSimple
# mailto:cygsim...@users.sourceforge.net
# https://sourceforge.net/p/cygsimple
export PATH=/c/opt/vim/vim74:"$PATH"
start /c/opt/vim/vim74/gvim `cygpath -w -- "$@"` &
</file>
So what else does cygstart do that I might setup
before a "cmd /c"
to get the target to run?
Don't know.
Or anyway to have cygstart run the command with its output in the
current window?
A windows program will have a different console by default. A console
program could can communicate to the same console as it is started in
unless it uses pty (e.g. /c/windows/system32/ftp).
