- Subject: `cygstart bash' won't work as advertised in man-page
it is said in the manual that
EXAMPLES
Start Bash in a new window
$ cygstart bash
but what I get is:
{ bhj@bhj1 /q }
$cygstart bash
Unable to start 'Q:\bash': The specified file was not found.
I'm testing out cygwin-1.7, and it works fine on cygwin-1.5. Is this a
designed feature to reduce security risk that user must specify the full
path if the file is not in the working folder?
