Hello,
For every shell code that I write, I'd like it to be portable both to Cygwin
on Windows, and to Ubuntu Linux for example.
It's kinda possible, but am blocked with such a use case:
alias vpnup='exec sudo openvpn --config ~/config/client.vpn --writepid
/tmp/openvpn.pid &'
While this worked perfectly under Ubuntu, I've had to make up a customized
version for Windows:
alias vpnupwin='cd c:/home/sva/config; openvpn --config client.vpn --writepid
c:/cygwin/tmp/openvpn.pid &'
Here, I cd first to my config file, as I removed full paths from client.vpn
config file:
,----
| ## client.vpn --- client-side OpenVPN config file
|
| # SSL/TLS parms.
| ca ca.crt
| cert fni.crt
| key fni.key
`----
instead of:
,----
| ## client.vpn --- client-side OpenVPN config file
|
| # SSL/TLS parms.
| ca /home/sva/config/ca.crt
| cert /home/sva/config/fni.crt
| key /home/sva/config/fni.key
`----
I'm aware of cygpath, but still don't see clearly which are the best trade-off
to be able to write portable shell code -- if possible. Any hint?
Best regards,
Seb
