Subject: Re: setting windows environment variables
At 04:18 PM 7/20/2004, you wrote:
I have a Cygwin BASH script which takes user input, uses
ldapsearch, etc., to set a bunch of environment variables. I
can then use these from bash with no problem. I would also
like to make these environment variables available to the
windows command interpreter.
Is there anyway to do this?
Only if the windows command interpreter is a child of the
bash process you
run from. Otherwise, your best bet is to export the variables as some
batch file and run that in the windows command interpreter.
Also, is there a BASH equivalent of the windows cmd
start command that lets you start many processes without
having to wait on each to finish?
How about 'cygstart'?
