But $ cmd /c $(cygpath -w hello) will execute hello.exe The fact that you get file not found error tells me that cmd is doing what it does. The purpose of the .exe magic is for executing the file from the Cygwin shell. My opinion is that we shouldn't rely on the .exe magic; there are hidden dangers and some use those dangers to a benefit. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
