My main goal is to use various mysql commands located in xamp\mysql\bin (like mysqldump and mysql). I could copy them to /cygwin/bin/, but it would create duplicate files. I would like to sync my production site with my development site on a Windows XP machine on the command line. I am familiar with some unix commands, yet do know how to set up my environment. The shell gives me the following output. bash: mysql.exe: command not found This message appears even in the in /cygdrive/d/xampp/mysql/bin. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
