Re: Running Unix Shell script from NT



 Hello there.

"bash prog" should work if you are in the right directory (is "bash" in your
PATH ?)
You could also :
* rename your scripts by adding extensions based on the shell you want (ie.
".bash" and ".sh")
* then "assoc .bash=bashfile" and "ftype bashfile=bash %1 %*" (NT shell)
* same for ".sh" : "assoc .sh=shfile" and "ftype shfile=sh %1 %*"
Then you just have to type "abcd.bash".
If really you don't want to type ".bash", then just add ".bash" and ".sh" to
PATHEXT system wide variable

By the way, the notation 'cmd & cd "a path"' is a bit wrong...

Hope it works !
