Using launchExecutable to call cygwin with commands

[WesleyTaylor]

Hello all,

I want to be able to press a button & I want the system to call cygwin & then trigger a .sh file.

Two sh files shall be run consecutively.

Whereby the first is used to start a service

Whereby the second is used to run some bespoke command.

# step1

launchexecutable("$pathtoCYGWIN") 

# within cygwin run ./esidebug.sh (In the home directory that becomes path on initiation of cygwin)
# NOTE LaunchExecutable("C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe \c C:\\cygwin64\\home\\wesleyt\\esidebug.sh" DOESN'T WORK
#Step2
launchexecutable($pathtoCYGWIN") // with different cmd (gdb -targ $userspecifiedtarget ....etc)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Wes

I don't have any experience running shell scripts but there seems to be some useful

information in the article. I hope this helps.
