I find cygstart useful generally, but ShellExecute/Ex has more options than cygstart exposes.
In particular, I'd like to be able to write a script that starts an action and waits for it to complete, and then perform another action. This means that I don't want cygstart to return until the process it has started exits (modulo MDI etc). ShellExecuteEx can return the process handle, which can then be waited on. I've written a patch against cygutils-1.3.2-1 that implements this functionality via a new "-w | --wait" argument. I've attached the patch for review. Is there any other place I should be posting to submit this patch? -- Barry -- http://barrkel.blogspot.com/
