How can I make a Windows shortcut that launches Bash and runs commands?












2















I've created a windows shortcut with a target that looks like



"C:WindowsSystem32bash.exe" php /c/script.php



(I know I could just use my windows verison of php cli to run this, but out of curiosity)



When I click my shortcut it just pops open a cmd window and closes (where the script should take minutes to run.



Is there a way to pipe commands to bash.exe on windows?






windows bash cmd.exe shortcuts windows-subsystem-for-linux

    Many things I see that are odd about this question. If it were WSL, then "/c/script.php" would be "/mnt/c/script.php".. it it were CYGWIN or MINGW, then bash.exe wouldn't be in Windows/System32. What 'Unix' are you using?

First of all, bash.exe has been deprecated. You should use wsl.exe in command lines. Use Windows Insiders Builds 17063 and above for the interoperability feature in WSL. For your case, both of this may work:



wsl.exe php /mnt/c/MyFiles/test.php

wsl.exe --exec php /mnt/c/MyFiles/test.php




Here is the wsl.exe usage information:




Usage: wsl.exe [Argument] [Options...] [CommandLine]



Arguments to run Linux binaries:



If no command line is provided, wsl.exe launches the default shell.



--exec, -e <CommandLine>

    Execute the specified command without using the default Linux shell.



--

    Pass the remaining command line as is.



For further details, read WSL interoperabiltity with Windows.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
