What I want is to write a shell script (bash), that will cd to a directory, enter the dos cmd prompt and execute a .bat file and then return to my bash shell. I do not know if this is possible, have tried many things, but nothing works. thanks J.V. -- 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 -- 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
