I have installed cygwin on windows to execute shell script to connect my HPUX servers. I need to know the editor available for the writing the Shell scripts and the path for the shell(example : #!/bin/ksh) that needs to be mentioned in the shell scirpt.
If this is not the right forum, please direct me to the right.
within a cygwin shell, a regular 'which ksh' should work as normally as on a *NIX system. Try that comand. Whatever that returns you can use that in the script.
IT is usually in /usr/bin or /bin (sometimes it will be a link to /usr/bin).
cygwin typically uses bash as the default shell. You should use #!/bin/bash. You could use vim as your editor. and actually since you are on a windows machine you could also use notepad. unless you set it up differently the root directory for cygwin is c:\cygwin.

just checked and bash is located at /usr/bin/bash. I also updated my install and added pdksh which is located at /usr/bin/pdksh.

Just to mention, cygwin is also great for setting up the ability to ssh to your windows machine and for setting up nfs on windows. Here are some good howtos:
Anyway, I thought you might find those interesting. It's nice to be able to scp files from my hp-ux boxes to my windows laptop.
