Re: #! not a recognized internal or external command

2003-10-03 Thread Neil Messmer
The problem ended up being the extention of my script file. It was *.cmd as
it was under my Sun OS. This force the cmd.exe to execute it and never allow
the cygwin environment to take hold.

I should also mention that the script was executed within a cygwin shell
window when this error occurred.

I would have thought the paths set in your particuliar environment would
have enabled to the find the correct shell for proper execution.

I am still convinced it is a setup issue as it works on another machine
here. OS versions and hardware are identical.

Re: #! not a recognized internal or external command

2003-10-02 Thread Neil Messmer
I had already tried that but the results are the same. This same script
works on another machine here with the same cygwin & win XP install.

I am assuming it has to a registry setting in XP or some setup with cygwin
that is not done correctly.

#! not a recognized internal or external command

2003-10-02 Thread Neil Messmer
I have just installed the latest version of cygwin and get the following
error message when running my scripts while running cygwin under Win XP. It
does not matter what shell I specify for the script.

My paths on the win pc is set to /usr/local/bin; /usr/bin; /bin;
/usr/x11r6/bin.

The simple test script contains one line:
#! /bin/tsch

ANy ideas?
