Re: bash: ./myscript: No such file or directory. TMP variable is being unset

[Markus Hoenicka]

look at /etc/profile:

unset DOSDRIVE
unset DOSDIR
unset TMPDIR
unset TMP

change this to your needs.

Re: bash: ./myscript: No such file or directory. TMP variable is being unset

[Randall R Schulz]

Guy,

The fact that some shells fall back to treating files with execute 
permissions and no '#!' line as being suitable for execution by the 
standard system shell is really an artifact of a time long past. I humbly 
submit that you ought to use #! lines in all your "executable" scripts, 
even if they do operate in the way you intend on a bona fide Unix or Linux 
system.

You may have noticed that the synthesized execute permissions under Cygwin 
are keyed off of select file name extensions or the presence of '#!' as the 
first two characters of a file. I'd say Cygwin is bending over backward to 
create this degree of compatibility with Unix (-like) systems. There is 
little alternative since Windows file systems are impoverished as to 
explicit type information and access control attributes (as a Mac user and 
programmer I see file name suffixes as a very poor substitute for file type 
information).

Lastly, a quick (not thorough) check of the options and man page for BASH 
didn't reveal a way to enable the behavior you desire. Perhaps you could 
add such an option.

Your scripts aren't "portable", although that's your choice!;-)  If you 
are running on NT-based systems with NTFS file systems, you can set "ntsec"
in your CYGWIN environment variable and then use "chmod +x <file>" (please
read the documentation on how ntsec works though).  Alternatively, you can
use "ntea" on NT-based systems on either NTFS or FAT drives, as long as you
don't mind a large "EA DATA. SF" file in the root of all the FAT drives!;-)
If you use "ntea", you can use chmod as well.  Otherwise, you need to let
Cywgin know this is a script by adding the #!/bin/sh line or invoking it
with the shell.  Those are your current options.

Never seen this so I can't help you there...

bash: ./myscript: No such file or directory. TMP variable is being unset

[Guy T. Moore Jr.]

1.)
Seems like I should be able to do the following simple shell scripting:


I'm in a Cygwin 1.1.4 window at my C: prompt.

I create a file, called myscript,  with the 1 line of:

     echo "doggie"


I cannot execute this successfully:

$ ./myscript
bash: ./myscript: No such file or directory.



I can execute myscript succesfully if I add at the top of the
myscript the line of:

    #!/bin/sh


and I can also execute myscript succesfully if I, preface the command with /bin/sh:

$ /bin/sh myscript


I'd rather get it to work the way it does on Solaris 5.7 in a bourne shell or csh
without using any work arounds.

This problem is preventing other simple things from working correctly.


2.)
I have the environment variable "TMP" defined as both a SYSTEM and USER environment
variable, but when I open up a Cygwin window it does not have this set.
It has all the other ones set, why did it unset this?
