I'm trying to run a bash script which uses getopts under cygwin. The
script works on my linux box, but reports 'getopts not found' under
cygwin. The bash help list getopts as a valid built-in command. The
script in question can be reduced to :
#/bin/bash
#
while getopts ab flag
do
case "$flag" in
a) echo "Flag a";;
b) echo "Flag b";;
?) echo "Flag unknown";;
esac
done
I could not find any scripts in the bin directory that use getopts.
Should it work? Or is the help incorrect?

Hi,
You forgot the "!" in the first line of the script:
#!/bin/bash

Doh! I can't believe I missed that. Please pass the DUNCE cap, and
I'll go sit in the corner. :-(
