Re: Problem after upgrading from 1.7.9 to 1.7.10-1 - system commands not found
So just an update as to what ended up happening to my Cygwin --- Yes, the commands were available when I typed the full path. I should have known that. But updating the permissions to 644 did not work. I could not set the owner and group to root because there weren't such user and group (mine is a corporate PC with domain, if that helps). So I ended up removing the Cygwin and reinstalling and now it is working fine.

Problem after upgrading from 1.7.9 to 1.7.10-1 - system commands not found
I've been happy with 1.7.9, but couldn't resist my curiosity so ran the 1.7.10-1 setup today. During the process it complained that Cygwin is running and offered me options to either stop the Cygwin and try again, or continue and reboot after it is done. So I selected to continue and then rebooted. But when I launched the Cywin console/Mintty, I did not have most of the system commands, such as ls and which, but commands like cd and alias are there. I tried running the setup again (made sure all the packages I used to have are selected) but did not help. rebooted again and it is the same. How can I recover from this? I hate to reinstall from scratch as doing that will make me lose a lot of customization, such as ssh keys, etc. Please see below for examples and logs. My system is Win 7 Pro, 64-bit.

Re: Problem after upgrading from 1.7.9 to 1.7.10-1 - system commands not found
David, Thank you for your prompt reply. Since I also don't have chmod and chown commands, I tried to set the permission on those file in C:\cygwin\etc\defaults\etc (I assume that's the location for /etc) using Windows file properties dialog box - I went to the Security and gave full control to user Everyone. I don't have a windows user or group called root ... After that I rebooted and ran Mintty and still no luck ... What should I try next?

Still no luck. Since I don't have uname command either, I decided to reinstall the cygwin (1.7.10-1) and coreutil (8.15-1) packages by running the setup and selecting reinstall.
