Hi everybody

I'm using cywin on my Win2k box to get a reasonable shell. Now there's one problem left: Everytime I issue a "host" command within SQL*PLUS, I get a Windows console. I would like to get the bash prompt instead. Is there any way to tell sql plus what to do when you do a "host" ? Like re-route it to start the cygwin bash ?
The point is that I want to write and test scripts on win2k using shell syntax (including the unix path'), so I could just mount my windows oracle installation to /opt/oracle etc. and I could run the scripts as if I were on a unix host. Unfortunately, everytime, I use a script containing "host" and a path within the "host"-environment it doesn't work, because the cmd.exe started by sqlplus expects windows path syntax like C.\blah instead of /blah.

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Stefan
