How so? This works on un*x platforms so what am I missing?
The script IS my own, if you execute the script as suggested what
results did you get with cygwin/windows?

I read this, I'm not sure what it provides as a solution? Apart from
the fact that I dont require java 7, what is the expected cygwin bash
glob behaviour?
I ran my script with \"$ARGV\" as suggested and the output per my java
app is 'WRONG! NO ARGS AT ALL - should be '*'". If you can illustrate
how to make this work I'd like to see it because I've tried a lot of
variations with cygwin without sucess and so far I can only conclude
that 'set -f' is being ignored. Thanks for responding Achim but please
do try the code I provided and see what results you get.

Just a minor correction to my post, on Mac I said "with ‘set –f’
active expansion does occur as expected", instead I meant 'with set -f
removed from the script expansion does occur as expected'.

cheers,
craig.
