Project outline: Modify Linux bash script to run on win7/8 via CygWin (or better alternative?). MUST know Linux bash scripting VERY well in order to help convert the script where ever needed in order to run under win desktops. Must have some basic networking skills and understanding. The cygwin environment will require the following or equivalent ; curl, ping, traceroute, mtr, awk, sed and perhaps others This is a proof of concept 1: Convert script so it runs on cygwin with all required tools ready to go. The point is to prove that we can send basic information back to an existing php application using the above tools. 2: Provide a very basic (no design work needed) html/php web page on a Centos server for user to sign up, download custom (credentials) file ready to install and run. When user creates an account, a custom package will be created where the custom parts are the credentials. Bundle the new credentials then make the file available for download to the user. 3: Single click (exe) to install. Ensure the package contains everything needed without user having to download anything else, set paths, etc. Fully self contained, zip file with any other files/documents, ready to use. -Will provide a script which is mostly running but where we will need to complete the changes in order for it to fully run under cygwin. The script will contain basic functions to illustrate that this could be done. -Will provide a Linux and win7 dev server if needed so long as you can remotely access it. Access is IP restricted. If we can get this done, working right, and showing that the concept works, it will open the door to a large number of possible projects.

Hi! I don't know enough info about your project yet but I gonna offer you one possible solution. What about Perl script? I can convert your bash script to Perl and after that compile it for Windows (it will run on any Windows platform from XP till Win8). So you don't need CygWin to run it. Thanks. Roman

Hi, programs created with CygWin has some license limitations, (should be open source) . Such program also must be distrubuted with cygwin1.dll. I would offer to use MinGW + MSYS. My bid amount is very approximate, I need to know more details. Regards Alexander Altshuler

I have more than 15 years Linux engineering experience. My main goal here is to provide a quality array of services, my profile I think shows clearly that. I would love to work on your project, currently am administrating Linux boxes across the globe, both virtual and physical. Bash scripting is part of my daily routines and project seems both intriguing and doable. I am looking forward to long term partnerships and not hitnrun projects! Merry Xmas regardless :)

Hello, I have experience in porting various scripts and applications across windows/linux systems. You requirements seems to be pretty straight forward and can be done properly as long as the script runs properly in its native environment. Using cygwin would be an overkill due to the size and dependencies it pulls over, maybe we could use a custom build of busybox or msys. If you can send me the script, I could tell you what would be the best way to get this done and which all tools needs to be used. For single click launcher, we do need to make a stub (in c/c++) and I can provide a php script to generate the launcher with documented api. Feel free to contact for any details. Greetings, Nahar

Your project sounds very exciting and I would really enjoy to work on it. I would be more comfortable writing the front end in ruby or python but php is also doable in my end! Looking forward to talk to you.

Hello, I am mostly web developer, but my work on previous projects included a lot of bash scripting and linux server maintenance. Tools that your bash script is using are already available for windows, and if goal of the project is to use cygwin, i assume migration should be even easier (but i am not sure how script is complex). My personal moto when i am dealing with various programming problems is that everything is possible, one way or another. I would really like to work on your project, my main motivation is challenge. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions. Best regards, Vlatko
