How to execute shell script in cygwin?

Question

I store name.sh under C:\Documents and Settings\user when i type sh name.sh in Cygwin,

sh: testing.sh: No such file or directory

any help will be appreciated!

Solution

Is that the actual output? If so, it's looking for another script called testing.sh.

testing.sh needs to be in a directory listed in the PATH variable, or you have to run it using a full path, e.g. ./testing.sh or ~/user/testing.sh.

Also don't forget to make testing.sh executable by running chmod +x testing.sh.

Please don't cross-post.

I think you may have missed the fact that there are two different filenames involved.

Sorry,actually there is only name.sh involved, typing error

That's OK. It's easy to make mistakes when typing. That's why it's better to always post the actual output. Or if you need to hide some sensitive information, copy paste into Notepad, do a Find/Replace, then post that.
