Have you tried using a -- to indicate end of arguments
to cygstart:
cygstart -- tail --version
Thanks! No, I hadn't, and that works great.
I still find the usage syntax to be misleading though:
Usage: cygstart [OPTION]... FILE [ARGUMENTS]
What are ARGUMENTS if not to be passed to the execution of
FILE? (For
people relatively new to the nuances of cygwin/Linux (like
myself), '--'
is a pretty obscure feature.)
Consider the question of how one would grep for the string "--version" in a
file.....
cheers,

grep -e --version
