Sorry if this has been answered a hundred times, but could not find anything the FAQ, doc, or archives.
THE PROBLEM: o Say I have some intrepreter xxx.exe, that expects to get started like this xxx c:\home\my_script.xxx <arg_1> <arg_2> ... o I want to automate this process the usual way, by adding this to the begining of the script: #!/c/bin/xxx ... hoping to be able to say: my_script.xxx <arg_1> <arg_2> o *** This fails, because cygwin [or bash] passes the unix path /c/home/my_script.xxx to xxx.exe which it cannot interpret. Is there a solution to this OTHER THAN using a proxy shell that would do the unix-to-dos translation? The reason I don't like this solution is that the shell will glob and eat quotes, making it very hard to process filenames with spaces.
