My mistake - I'm very aware of the quoting rules, yet in my test script for this scenario I forgot to quote the arguments. However, if POSIX rules are being implemented, there is still something I didn't expect. Here's my bash script: #!/bin/bash echo "$1" echo "$2" echo "$3" And I invoke it like this from a Windows command prompt: C:\> bash -x script.sh foo bar\"baz bat + echo foo foo + echo 'bar\baz bat' bar\baz bat + echo '' Not expected. Called from within Cygwin, the behavior is correct: $ bash -x script.sh foo bar\"baz bat + echo foo foo + echo 'bar"baz' bar"baz + echo bat bat Can you explain this difference? The reason I ask is that if this worked, the way Go constructs the command line string would be just fine.
