Basically, I want my scripts to be able to run flawlessly on both
Fedora and Cygwin/Windows systems.
I have a universal .bashrc file that I use on Linux, Cygwin
and the occasional FreeBSD or NetBSD systems. In it I make
use of "uname -s" to handle peculiarities like this:
case "$(uname -s)" in
Linux) echo "Do Linux-specific stuff here" ;;
CYGWIN*) echo "Do Cygwin-specific stuff here" ;;
*BSD) echo "Do BSD-specific stuff here" ;;
*) echo "No support for $(uname -s) yet" ;;
esac
I also have come to prefer the Cygwin "putclip" and "getclip"
to the Linux "xclip". But not all platforms have both, so
this portion of my universal .bashrc protects putclip/getclip
if they exist or otherwise creates them out of xclip if it
exists.
if [ -n "$(type -P xclip)" ]; then
test -z "$(type -P putclip)" && \
alias putclip="$(type -P xclip) -sel clip -i"
test -z "$(type -P getclip)" && \
alias getclip="$(type -P xclip) -sel clip -o"
alias xclip='xclip -sel clip'
