If not, I'd recommend reading the bash man page for helpful hints. 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.
