Question

How can I run a shell script in a new cygwin window? The following just opens up the windows type of cmd window which is difficult to resize.

cygstart /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/bash ~/runmyapp.sh

Was it helpful?

Solution

Here's an example that should work.

mintty bash -c "~/runfxtransact.sh; read -p \"Press enter to close this window.\"" &
