Subject: Run a Cygwin (X) app from a DOS command line
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:14:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <001d01c96b41$2bbb20e0$4001a8c0@mycomputer> (raw)
Is it possible to run a Cygwin GUI app (i.e. requiring 'X') from a DOS
terminal, as opposed to a bash terminal? After starting the X server
I tried "cygstart path/to/my/program" but nothing happened. The app
runs fine if I start it from a bash terminal.
John
