Startup IE via shell script
in my windows, i installed MKS Toolkits so i can use vi and ksh. i can start internet explore from cmd C:\program files\internet explore\iexplore.exe fine, but when it wont start within my shell script:

Code:
!#/bin/ksh
 
cd /program files/internet explore
iexplore.exe

i know this is unix, not windows forum.

Try adding quotes around the cd command.
Code:
cd "/....."

I have not used MKS ins a loooooooong time! Do you see "Program Files" when you run:
Code:
ls /

Or is your "C" drive "mounted" on / is it is (or used to be) in Cygwin?

You mean the command is "start iexplore"?

The shebang is wrong, !# vs #!
