Put it in a python script... You can terminate all notepad.exe with `terminateModule.py notepad.exe' for example. Another thing, when running `terminateModule.py', the python must be the native win32 python, with pywin32 installed, not the one shipped with cygwin. The reason should be apparent. Then there comes another problem, you must run it like "c:/python25/python q:/bin/windows/terminateModule.py notepad.exe" which is too boring So, I just wrote a bash helper that will make it possible to invoke native python from the shebang like: #!/bin/env pywinstart.exe the pywinstart.exe is a *general* .exe file, which will only invoke bash with a `helper.sh' and the command line arguments, in helper.sh, it will see pywinstart.exe is executing, so instead it will invoke a *pywinstart.sh*, which then *cygstart* the native python, with the .py file path "~/bin/windows/terminateModule.py" transformed to it's win32 path using `cygpath -alm' If you are interested, consider checkout the whole http://windows-config.googlecode.com/svn/trunk and execute its bin/windows/after-check-out.sh and bin/windows/startup.sh, and reboot. See what happens... Be fore-warned: it will change your keyboard's CapsLock into Control, among other not very polite things:-) > > -- > 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
