It should work out even if it contains spaces, as long as I quote them.

It's not a script to be run once. It's to be executed from time to time.

Additionally, before coming with pipe-to-cmd solution, I had other
workaround in mind:

>bash -l some\script.sh & hstart /elevate "cmd /k c:\path\to\nginx -s
reload -c c:\path\to\nginx.conf"

Come to think of it, I still use cmd.exe as you can see, so that the extra
window wouldn't disappear right away and I could see the errors, if any.
