Re: Can't figure out how to pass command arguments via cygstart

I'd like to invoke command foo and pass the -s switch to the command.
When I try

       cygstart --hide foo -s

cygstart complains that it does not understand the -s switch.  Is
there a way to do this?
Yes, that's a bit unfortunate.

I don't think there is a real solution for this - how would popt know that it shouldn't parse the "-s"?
There is a workaround, though. You can use
cygstart --hide -- foo -s
