Hi,
I wanted to call
sja.exe /somepath/params.xml
from a zsh script.
where sja.exe is a dos aware utility
This wouldn't work as sja always complained that it couldn't find param.xml
The same script worked as soon as I change the bang to #!/bin/sh
I guess this is because zsh is somehow interpreting the /somepath/params.xml before passing it on.
How do I tell zsh to just pass it on.
(i've a feeling I've already had a similar problem)

Actually it's more likely because zsh is NOT interpreting the path, and
bash (or whatever /bin/sh is) DOES interpret it.
That is, the DOS utility is probably expecting \somepath\params.xml
but zsh passes it through unchanged with forward slashes instead.

The line
sja.exe /somepath/params.xml
works when typed from the zsh prompt, but not from inside a little script

% sja() { /path/to/sja.exe `cygpath -w $1` } # put this in your .zshrc
or something
% sja /somepath/params.xml
