I can tab out myscript.sh, but can not tab complete ./myscript.sh; or
sh myscript.sh. I have double-checked the following.
These scripts are executable.
Created a new executable script (for a distinct name)
The bash man page had a section about completion, but did not contain
any troubleshooting suggestions. It also led me to believe that Bash
would tab complete in these scenarios; ./myscript.sh and sh
myscript.sh
Again, I do not have full familarity with Bash or cygwin; or the time
to read all the literature available. Please let know if any other
suggestions. Many Thanks.
