Need reccomendations : DOS to UNIX execution

#1 Post by SIMMS7400 » 14 Sep 2016 17:37

Hi Folks -

I'm just reaching out as I have a need to execute a shell script from a windows environment. Has anyone had to do the same thing and if so what utility would you recommend to do this?

I've been reading up on Cygwin and it seems ok. Just looking to see if there are better options.
Thanks!

Windows 10 can natively run bash scripts if you turn the feature on. If you're using an older OS, you can use Cygwin like you mentioned. If the script is fairly short, you could simply port it to batch.
