Open windows executable, file, or folder from cygwin terminal
explorer $( cygpath "/path/to/file_or_exe" -w )
This executes faster than
cygstart.exe
I put this in a script and added it to my path:
cat `which explore.sh`
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
explorer.exe $( cygpath `pwd` -w ) &
else
explorer.exe $( cygpath $1 -w ) &
fi;
Using the script you just type
explore.sh file_or_executable
Note: you can do this for any file that has an associated executable in the windows registry. This is quite handy if you want to open pictures or movies from xterm.
Sample Output
$ explorer $( cygpath "/path/to/executable" -w ) # Run the windows executable
$ explorer $( cygpath "movie file.avi" -w ) # Plays movie file with default player
$ explorer $( cygpath "/path/to/a folder" -w ) # Opens a folder in windows explorer
open () { echo 'Using Windoze cygstart.exe instead.'; cygstart "$*" ; }<a href="https://www.richmondmoldremovalservices.com/">www.richmondmoldremovalservices.com/</a>Thank you sharing this very informative post. - Rain | <a href="http://www.treetrimmingraleigh.com">Tree Service Raleigh</a><a href="http://www.treetrimmingraleigh.com">Tree Service Raleigh</a><a href="https://www.seo-tampa.org">seo companies tampa</a>[url="https://www.google.com"]Great![/url]concrete resurfacing service BirminghamNice work! <a href="https://www.google.com">click</a>I appreciated this content.
