RE: Running other scripts from Bash shell


Thanks. I will contact GNU Octave. In my last posting, I was using an Octave
script to explain my problem of how to run an external script from Cygwin in
general. Putting Octave aside for a moment, what do I need to do (PATH
setting, script header, etc) to run an external script from a bash script?

GNU Octave should not be doing what it is doing (I hope that they are
providing the sources for the cygwin that you are providing).  It should be
taking steps to recognize an existing cygwin installation and accommodating
that.

This is a GNU Octave problem.  You should contact them.
