All other extensions must be spelled out in full - see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html. But for shell scripts, there are a couple of a simple solutions: 1) get rid of the extension altogether: $ mv testScript.sh testScript 2) allow it to be called with or without extension $ ln -s testScript.sh testScript - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
