Hi,

I have read a lot of documents, but i really cant get this issue solved :(
All i want is to be able to execute bash scripts from a windows
desktop.. what i do now is..


a batch script: c:\cygwin\bin\bash c:\cygwin\example.sh

this is my bash script.

example.sh
ls -l


but i get the following output: command not found.

i hope that someone can give me a hit... all i have done is:
install cygwin, made my batch script.. and made my bash script.. do i
need to set any environment vars or something?

mvh

Add the -l option to bash. i.e. "man bash" for an explanation

This makes it a login shell which must cause the PATH variable to be set.
