I would imagine because the output of "uname -s" doesn't contain "CYGWIN" on either Linux or OpenBSD, so "grep -c" outputs a 0.

It could be due to some stderr output from either uname or grep. In any case, other than the output of "uname" containing CYGWIN (i.e., changes in data), none of the above is Cygwin-specific.

RE: Possible bash incompatibility - update
Sorry the script should have been: #!/bin/bash if [ `uname -s | grep -c 'CYGWIN'` -eq 1 ]; then printf "Target platform is Win32 via CYGWIN\n"; else printf "Target platform is NOT Win32 via CYGWIN\n"; fi Still the same error message etc...
