• Interactive Shell
  • Problem
    • The Windows shell can only be used as an interactive shell and does not support command or script execution.
    • The reason for this behavior is the fact that CopSSH does not support the non-interactive shell cmd.sh.
    • For details see https://www.itefix.net/content/windows-shell-sftp.
  • Solution
    • Using the "Bash and sFTP shell" with Copssh will work for Windows systems when using the cygwin supported Linux commands.
  • Examples for Limitations
    • Limitation: the Windows command set will not be recognized. 
      • Workaround: use export instead.
    • Limitation: the % special character to mark an environment variable such as %VARIABLENAME% will not be recognized.
      • Workaround: use $VARIABLENAME instead.
      • Hint: be careful when using mixed case spelling for environment variables.
    • Limitation: executing chained Windows commands in one line with the command delimiters & or && will result in executing only the first command.
      • Workaround: use the Linux command delimiter ";" together with the proper Linux command instead.
    • Limitation: prefixing a command with cmd /C does not execute the specified command.
      • Workaround: 
        • prüfen: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17582778/how-to-execute-a-bat-file-from-cygwin-bash-that-uses-the-windows-find-command
          • getestet:
            •  mit cygstart -w launcher.bat ./test.cmd 
              • in einer ssh Verbindung passiert nix
              • in einem JUnit Test schägt der Test mit dem  exit code 127 fehl
            •  mit cmd /C start /I ./test.cmd
              • in einer ssh Verbindung passiert nix
              • in einem JUnit Test hängt der Test sobald versucht wird das commando remote auszuführen
        • evtl. auf Artikel verlinken;  geht denn 

          cmd /C start "clean shell" /I "${EXPLORER_WINPATH}" "${SCRIPT_WINPATH}"

          Beispiel: start "My Notepad" /I c:/tmp/hallo.cmd
