Here file1 content is not copied to > file2. This is not cygwin specific. Nor is it how the shell works. If you want output to go to two places, you need to use tee, not multiple redirection operators. tee file2 < file1 >> file3 copies file1 into file2 (overwrite) and file3 (append). You probably want to read a good shell tutorial book. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
