I have a CentOS box able to access a Windows box's Cygwin via ssh. I want to run ssh me@windowsbox 'vol F:' in a script to capture the name and serial number of a plugged-in USB drive, but I get:
bash: vol: command not found
I would just run the path to vol.exe, but there's no such thing: VOL is built into cmd.exe.
How can I use VOL in Cygwin?
Launch cmd.exe from within Cygwin with the /C switch and the command in quotes:
cmd /C "vol F:"
