Dear Cygwin Technical Support Team,
There is no technical support team - Cygwin is an all volunteer project - so
what you get are those who read the mainling list, with free time to respond,
who may have any level of, or little, expertise or experience, or just opinions.
My name is Alok Agnihotri, and I am part of the Philips organization. We are
utilizing Cygwin in our environment to execute SSH commands remotely on
Windows-based machines, supporting various activities critical to our
operations.
As a corp, you are responsible for sourcing and funding your own support, if you
require more support for currently released packages than our volunteers can
provide in their free time, or any support for older released packages.
We are currently facing an issue where certain standard commands are not
recognized or are failing to execute within the Cygwin environment.
Sounds like path problems in your remote execution environment: your remote
accounts should setup Cygwin environments for execution under sshd; please read
the FAQ and User Guide, especially:
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.shares
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html
available locally by installing the cygwin-doc package when you install the
cygwin package.
Environment Information:
*
Windows Version: [Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC]
You should know that Windows Enterprise may be configured with/out features and
APIs that may be required for proper Cygwin operations.
OS Version: 10.0.17763 N/A build 17763
*
Cygwin Version: [3.4.6-1]
Cygwin is a rolling release system supporting only the current release 3.6.1-1,
plus those of all currently provided packages.
Please upgrade then follow the problem reporting guidelines
https://cygwin.com/problems.html
Mode of Operation: SSH remote execution from PRS Portal to Windows machines via
Cygwin
We would appreciate your support in diagnosing the root cause of this issue and
providing the necessary steps to resolve it. Kindly let us know if you require
any additional details, logs, or configuration specifics to assist with the
troubleshooting process.
We look forward to your prompt assistance.
Assistance is provided when volunteers have free time to respond when required
problem reporting information (above) is provided regarding issues with
*current* package releases.
You may want to search for orgs which offer paid Cygwin support, which they are
not allowed to advertise here, to avoid UCE.
You may install some old unsupported releases of Cygwin packages using the
Cygwin Time Machine, following the guidelines:
