OK, so you are creating a bash script from CMD. Invoking it outside
of Cygwin means the normal bash startup files are not run, so $PATH is
not set, so it can't find any commands. Replace "awk" with "/bin/awk"
and you should be good, apart from the lack of execute permission.
The second problem is that CMD's "echo" appends carraige returns.
Add these commands to fix both that problem and the execute permission
one:
\cygwin\bin\d2u awk.s
\cygwin\bin\chmod +x awk.s
