OK, so it looks like it's just pushing to unix what is on the command line, and So the -c is an option to the sh command. I'll have to look into this now as well As to whether any of the options are of any use, other than -c

The only difference to the /c option is that it does not immediately close after running your command. *nix doesn't have a /k option (but might have a different one). I suspect Universe doesn't document it because what that CMD prompt can do is dependent on the version of DOS/Windows you are running. They pass off to the O/S cmd.exe executable and it's up to that to determine what it does. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: February-15-12 1:14 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Universe's DOS command I Tried doing the same with UV/Unix (except with the SH command). Sh -c 'ls' gives me directory Sh -k 'ls' gives a strange error: "/bin/ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file" I don't have a DOS box to test DOS on, so what happened when you did DOS /K...?
