Humm I just ran the setup. I did a "ls -1 | wc" on both /bin and /usr/bin
and got the same number. I wonder if it is a link.

Yes this was a typo should have been bash-3.1$

Trying to get the email out as my wife calls saying she is downstairs ready
to take me home.
I have a script called test.sh in /local/adminscripts. /local is a directory
that I made. The script is
#! /bin/sh
echo "HELLO WORLD"
in a W2K3 command prompt (DOS) window
C:\cywin\bin> (which is the command prompt prompt)
I type the command
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c "/local/adminscripts/test.sh"
It returns
bash-3.1$
and waiting for input. I then type exit and the script executes. The output
is like this:
bash-3.1$ exit
exit
HELLO WORLD
C:\cywin\bin> (which is the command prompt prompt)
