Look at the last line, bash seen interpreted my echo command in last
line as ls command, that not suppose to be.
It *is* supposed to be. Unlike cmd on Windows, metacharacters like *
and ? and [...] are interpreted by bash. *****...* is equivalent to
*, and * matches all the files in the current directory.
In general, quote your arguments. Single-quote unless you want to do
variable interpolation ($abc), in which case double-quote.
echo 'Portable Cygwin v1.0.0.0 alpha'
echo '******************NOTE**********************'
echo 'Cygwin making modification in HKCU registry'
echo 'To completely clean Cygwin Portable'
echo 'installation run clean.bat in root directory'
echo '********************************************'
