Execute Shell Script located in wsl directory using wsl command - windows-subsystem-for-linux

I have an up.sh file with rsync commands in order to add file watcher inside my IDE. So it needs to execute the SH from windows using wsl. How is this possible?
E.g. wsl -e path-to-up.sh

How to automate commands on Cygwin

Hi I am looking to automate my file transfering to my Jailbroken iPhone over USB with a bash file. Which will launch the relay then do the file transfers
With this here I installed and successfully transfered files to my iPhone with cygwin but now I want to automate the file transfer.
First I need to start the relay with cygwin and those commands are required
cd pyusbmux/python-client/
chmod +x *
./tclrelay.py -t 22:2222
so I created a .sh file that does it but when I launch it cygwin gives me those errors
This is what should happen on the left and the result of the script on the right
How can I make cygwin open with thoses commands
In addition to be sure that tcpON.sh has proper line termination with d2u of dos2unix package:
d2u tcpON.sh
You should add a proper SHEBANG on the first line of your script
https://linuxize.com/post/bash-shebang/
#!/bin/bash
cd /cygdrive/e/Grez/Desktop
cd pyusbmux/python-client/
chmod +x *
./tclrelay.py -t 22:2222
You can use as base the Cygwin.bat and make a tcpON.bat batch file like:
C:
chdir c:\cygwin64\bin
bash --login /cygdrive/e/Grez/Desktop/tcpON.sh
Verify the proper cd command to be sure that you are always in the expected directory.
It is not the only way but probably the most flexible (IMHO)

Running .sh scripts in Git Bash

I'm on a Windows machine using Git 2.7.2.windows.1 with MinGW 64.
I have a script in C:/path/to/scripts/myScript.sh.
How do I execute this script from my Git Bash instance?
It was possible to add it to the .bashrc file and then just execute the entire bashrc file.
But I want to add the script to a separate file and execute it from there.
Let's say you have a script script.sh. To run it (using Git Bash), you do the following: [a] Add a "sh-bang" line on the first line (e.g. #!/bin/bash) and then [b]:
# Use ./ (or any valid dir spec):
./script.sh
Note: chmod +x does nothing to a script's executability on Git Bash. It won't hurt to run it, but it won't accomplish anything either.
#!/usr/bin/env sh
this is how git bash knows a file is executable. chmod a+x does nothing in gitbash. (Note: any "she-bang" will work, e.g. #!/bin/bash, etc.)
If you wish to execute a script file from the git bash prompt on Windows, just precede the script file with sh
sh my_awesome_script.sh
if you are on Linux or ubuntu write ./file_name.sh
and you are on windows just write sh before file name like that sh file_name.sh
For Linux -> ./filename.sh
For Windows -> sh file_name.sh
If your running export command in your bash script the above-given solution may not export anything even if it will run the script. As an alternative for that, you can run your script using
. script.sh
Now if you try to echo your var it will be shown. Check my the result on my git bash
(coffeeapp) user (master *) capstone
$ . setup.sh
done
(coffeeapp) user (master *) capstone
$ echo $ALGORITHMS
[RS256]
(coffeeapp) user (master *) capstone
$

I had a similar problem, but I was getting an error message
cannot execute binary file
I discovered that the filename contained non-ASCII characters. When those were fixed, the script ran fine with ./script.sh.
Once you're in the directory, just run it as ./myScript.sh
If by any chance you've changed the default open for .sh files to a text editor like I had, you can just "bash .\yourscript.sh", provided you have git bash installed and in path.
I was having two .sh scripts to start and stop the digital ocean servers that I wanted to run from the Windows 10. What I did is:
downloaded "Git for Windows" (from https://git-scm.com/download/win).
installed Git
to execute the .sh script just double-clicked the script file it started the execution of the script.
Now to run the script each time I just double-click the script
#!/bin/bash at the top of the file automatically makes the .sh file executable.
I agree the chmod does not do anything but the above line solves the problem.
you can either give the entire path in gitbash to execute it or add it in the PATH variable
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/the/script
then you an run it from anywhere

Git Bash prompt does not open - GIt bash installation

I have installed several times the package GI-1.9.4-preview20140611.exe on my Windows 8. When I try to open the git bash command window, the window opens, but it is empty, no showing the usual welcome message and the git prompt.
I have tried changing the command for the sh.exe file, which usually has the format
"sh.exe --login -i" into just "sh.exe". The shell opens then, the PS1 variable shows only the sh.exe file name and version, nothing more. Is there something wrong with my installation?
Thanks!
Your installation is fine.
The git executable(sh.exe) for Command Line Tool is a script that in order to work will be based on the your windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
You will need the following string to refer to Git correctly as an executable:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
Or you can always 'right-click' and SELECT 'Git Bash Here' or 'Git GUI Here'

Getting PSEXEC to run a local .vbs file on a remote machine without copying it over

I would like to get PSEXEC to run a .vbs file on a remote machine for me, however I currently have to have the .vbs located on the remote machine.
Below is an example of my script which does work.
psexec \\<\i.pAddress\> -u <\User\> -p <\Password\> -w c:\ -h cscript.exe "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\test.vbs"
Is there any solution which saves me having to place the test.vbs file on the remote machine before hand?
Use the -c option (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx)
-c Copy the specified program to the remote system for execution. If you omit this option the application must be in the system path on the remote system.

In command line, putty remote shell doesn't work, but in GUI, it does work

Using the GUI putty.exe, I can connect to my windows server and once it is connected, i can type any command like rename file or mkdir folder and they all work
However, using command line such as
putty -load test -m C:\users\test.txt
or using the GUI putty, but add 1 command to remote command in SSH under Connection, then the command doesn't get executed.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening or how can i fix this? I am using FreeSSHd on windows 2008 server.
Not sure if this helps, but try adding the /bin/bash directly after your command in the text file. It will keep the window open and you can see what the output of the shell would be if you ran it from the gui.
; /bin/bash
For example if test.txt is running a script
bash myscript.sh
bash myscript.sh; /bin/bash
This is assuming bash.
