If you want to start netcat, either chdir to a proper directory, or use full path to executable. Neither is true for your example, assuming I understood it right. > I'm interested in running a command (nc for example) within cygwin. Again, your question doesn't make sense. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 14.12.2014, <22:29> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
