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 \"

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.
