How to redirect output when running a exe through cygstart command .

I am running a node generated exe binary in cgywin . But it gives error

https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/804 -- checkout the last comment.

It works fine in windows cmd , so I am using cygstart command . But the issue is I cant get the logs after running cygstart .

cygstart someee.exe arguments > output.txt

This also doesn't gives output in output.txt

Can anyone help me out .

I'm using something like

cygstart.exe cmd /C "node index.js > output"

Then I can use tailf output to show the log.

The temporary cmd prompt is annoying and I'm looking for something better.

The following works for me. You have to do some quoting and escaping to that the correct information gets passed to ShellExecute.

cygstart bash -c \"ls \> ls.out \"
