you are typing a wrong thing. You need to put quotes around sh.exe.
find . -name "sh.exe" -print
The command you are typing is going to give you syntex error on a UNIX
machine too.
There is book called UNIX in Nutshell and is available at all the book
stores in the USA. Perhaps that may answer you several questions you
posted in previous mails.

This help is incorrect! You only have to quote the name, if it contains
meta characters, e.g. `*.c'.

Actually, the name parameter only requires quotes if it contains wildcards.
His problems, as others have stated, is that he is executing the windows
find command and not the cygwin one.

Dear all,
I bet that his path is pointing to a win95/98/NT directory first, and
"find" being invoked is not the GNU "find" but the Windows one. Try "type
find", if it is not the one in the Cygnus directory, that's the source
of your problem.

Simao.

Agree!!!
As Corinna said, if you are having this problem, I would rather rename MS
find.exe. Windows NT find.exe is useless anyway.

I did nt rename it and as long as I ran find within Cygwin Bash shells, with

David is making a mistake in typing the find command syntex that's why he is
seeing errors.

Sorry, but the error message:
FIND: Parameter format not correct
is a pure M$ism. (Just type \winnt\system32\find to "find" this message)
Depending on the paths to sort things out gives you different results
depending on the context you're working from.
Personally, I would NOT want my BAT scripts to behave differently depending
on where they're running from.
Also you only need to quote the name of the file you're looking for (under
gnu-find or gfind for short) when the filename includes a wildcard.
Anybody gona write Cygwin in a nutshell for O'Reily? (It's such a pain to

My "find" command does not seem to be working properly. Regardless of what
options I give it, it always complains about the parameters being wrong.
For example, here is a simple command:
$ find . -name sh.exe -print
With parameters, it consistently tells me that "FIND: Parameter format not
correct"
Without parameters, it reports "required parameter missing"
The command:
$ find --help
does not work either.
------
Now, as for job control, arent the "jobs", "bg", and "fg" commands a
standard part of SH?
I don't seem to have these in my distribution, and I could really use them.

This sounds to me, as if your shell finds the Windows `find'-command first.
Check your settings (e.g. PATH order).

No. The standard bourne shell doesn't have job control features.
But this is supported by bash, ksh, tcsh, zsh,...

I always rename the cygnus find to gfind so that it does not collide with
the builtin WinDos version of find.exe...
