Running batch file through SSH (CygWin) on Arch not returning output
EDIT: Got it working! I now have a bash script that calls the test.bat file and does some text manipulation to pull what I want out of it, and that does output to the SSH terminal!
Hello,
There is a file called "test.bat" that I put in System32 (just so I don't have to type in full paths) which just outputs the current user's session ID. Running it on Windows works just fine, but when I SSH into the Windows machine from the Arch Linux box (via CygWin) and run it, I just get the "Press any key to continue" prompt.
Any ideas why this is the case?
Thank you,
