This was made easier as I just ran some of the bash scripts through win-bash. Since moving to Windows 7 of course this no longer works, even if I disable UAC completely - just echos on screen with no errors.... I can only guess that the reason is that win-bash no longer works with Windows 7? My question is will powershell fill the gap? i.e. if this is my win-bash script what would the powershell equivalent look like, or am I barking up the wrong tree? echo !TC | C:/win-bash/nc 192.172.1.6 80 > ScanFile.dta p.s. nc = netcat and I know I need an alternative sooner rather than later Very many thanks in advance Joe. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Can-powershell-replace-win-bash-under-Windows-7--tp31403137p31403137.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
