Sorry, I don't use putty or plink (and actually since they aren't part of the Cygwin distribution, much discussion of them is off-topic for this list). But I expect your problem isn't putty/plink specific but rather operator-error. I can reproduce the same "problem" you're reporting with 'ssh' (which is part of the Cygwin distribution). I believe you want: plink -batch -2 -i C:\path\to\my\key\mykey.PPK -l tims 159.87.127.66 'echo $PATH' Does that clarify what's going on for you? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
