Hey Adrian, Ideally you shouldn’t use Cygwin to run on Windows — use the .cmd scripts we provide instead. Cygwin might be made to work but we haven’t tried to do this so far so it’s not supported. If you can fix it, that would of course be welcome.
Also, the deploy scripts don’t work on Windows — we assumed that people would mostly use Windows for local development and testing. However, if you do want to launch a cluster, you can use spark-class.cmd manually to launch a Master and then Workers. Use the commands in the first part of http://spark.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-standalone.html.
