RE: 2001-04-16 DLL not running .bat and .cmd files with cmd.exe

[Troy Noble]

Christopher,

Thought I'd report back that I just had a chance to try the latest snapshot
(4/22/2001) and the fix you put back works.

typing:

$ MyOwnScript.bat

or

$ MyOwnScript.cmd

both work properly and kick in cmd.exe as expected.

And if I put #!/bin/bash at the top of a .bat or .cmd file, it gets ignored
and does not invoke bash.  That's as I would expect.

Thanks for the quick turn on this.  Sorry for the delay reporting back, but
wanted to repost as resolved in case others are searching the archives.

Troy

I did say this but I thought I'd fixed it in recent snapshots.

I have just checked in a fix to rectify the problem again.  It will be
in tonight's snapshot.

Check the mail archives on this.  I believe that Chris Faylor said that 
myscript.bat used to work and is broken now for some reason.

2001-04-16 DLL not running .bat and .cmd files with cmd.exe

[Troy Noble]

I installed the 2001-04-16 snapshot DLL, and discovered that
now when I type:

$ myscript.bat

or

$ myscript.cmd

at a bash prompt, that cmd.exe does not get invoked by
default.  And of course bash gets confused since it
doesn't know what @echo off means ;->

Is this expected behavior, or is this broken?

of course, I can always type "cmd.exe /c myscript.bat" and
that works as expected.

I did not re-install any other packages other than just updating
the DLL.

Thanks, Troy
