What did you expect to happen? I expected that running eslint ./**/*.js the second time would show the same result as the first time. What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint. Nothing was shown when running the command a second time.

This was run on a win10 machine using githbash.

Would just like to say thanks for all the help. You found a solution for my issue, got to the bottom of it and even added docs. Very cool. Cheers!

Yes, by quoting it, the argument is passed as a literal.

$ eslint '**/*.js'
[ '/Users/alberto/.nvm/versions/node/v5.9.1/bin/node',
  '/Users/alberto/.nvm/versions/node/v5.9.1/bin/eslint',
  '**/*.js' ]
