s/tsch/tcsh but the *real* problem is that you're trying to start a shell script under cmd.exe. That won't work. The error message is generated by cmd.exe because it correctly doesn't recognize #! as a command. The #! syntax requires support by the starting application, in your case, by Cygwin. If the starting application is not a Cygwin shell, you must start the script as a parameter to the right shell: C:\foo> tcsh script-name Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- 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/
