How to run bash shell script in cygwin?

How to run bash shell script in cygwin?

[myuser01]

I have a script called "batchjob" that looks like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    echo 'I was here'

-rwxr-xr-x  1 c10066 mkpasswd   48 Jul 19 09:30 batchjob

But when I try to execute it from the cygwin shell I get this: 
$ batchjob
bash: batchjob: command not found

How do i execute a bash shell script from within cygwin?

Thanks

This is not a Cygwin problem.  It's a usage issue.  You'd see
the same problem on other platforms.  Try:

./batchjob

... and the reason for this is because the current directory, called
"." (dot), is not normally in the PATH environment variable.  This
variable is used to find programs that you are trying to run.  Since
"." is not in that list, it will not find the script.

Adding the "./" in front of the command name tells the shell to "look
in this directory (.) for the command"

You can read more about this by doing a google search like:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=path+environment+variable

by default, the current working directory ( . ), is not in the PATH.
Using ./filename, provides the relative path to the executable to bash

or consult any basic doc about bash default paths, e.g.

Re: How to run bash shell script in cygwin?

[Jose.Torres]

Hi myuser01,

On a bash or similar shell, you need to include the location to the
executable file in order to execute it. If the executable directory is not
in one of your bin folders you can execute it as part of your PATH. 

try the following:


$ pwd
$ echo $PATH
$ export $PATH=$PATH;`pwd`

Other people may prefer a .bashrc or similar .bash_profile files. 

I found this post on google when searching for executing bash files in
apache.

Re: How to run bash shell script in cygwin?

[iloveunix]

the "./" tells bash to look for your script in the current working directory
instead of looking for the script as defined by the standard path set during
the start of your session.

One minor comment I have about point 12 in the FAQ, now that I went reading.
The following advice is given:
  You should rather install sshd and use ssh username@localhost as a su
replacement. 

With ssh, use rather: ssh username@$(hostname)

This is because ssh will record the host key with the name.
You don't want to record random host keys with the stable 'localhost' name.

Took me a few moments to realize, but I think this is possible even now,
when you use ssh on localhost:mapped-port.
