Greetings, Lee!How to open a web page (remote or local) or launch IE from the mintty/bash command line? I've tried the following: $ cygstart "http://www.google.com" $ cygstart index.html # local page $ "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe" $ cygstart "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe" If IE is already open, the first two examples work, but otherwise, for all 4, IE flashes a window, which immediately closes.how about cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "www.google.com"I'd say, cmd /c start "" https://google.com/
Both seem to start the *default* browser, in my case, Firefox. You need to be explicit if you want IE and it's not your default.
