Currently there isn't; see $ man cygstart $ cygstart --help You could always apply the patch that you mentioned earlier yourself and re-compile cygstart. Work-around: You might try the following. $ cmd /c start /wait You also might want to see if start's "/b" option helps. B Start application without creating a new window. The application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt the application (Please note that I've never even tried "/b" -- my suggestion comes from start /?, not any experience.) - Barry -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
