About Cygwin: (FAQ)

Cygwin is a collection of open-source tools and libraries that enable the use of Unix and POSIX-based programs on Windows systems. It includes a vast array of packages from the open-source world, including most GNU tools, numerous BSD tools, an X server, and a full suite of X applications. Developers can use Cygwin to write Windows console or GUI applications that make use of various POSIX API features. It allows for the easy porting of many Unix programs without the need for significant changes to their source code. Cygwin also enables the configuration and building of most available GNU or BSD software, including the packages included in the Cygwin distribution. These tools can be accessed through one of the provided Unix shells, such as bash, tcsh, or zsh.

Can you tell me Cygwin what versions of Windows are supported?

Cygwin is supported on all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and all later versions of Windows, except for those in Windows S mode due to its limitations. It can be used on 64-bit AMD/Intel compatible PCs, as well as under x64 emulation on ARM PCs running Windows 11. It’s important to note that the functionality and limitations of Cygwin are determined by the underlying operating system. As a result, Cygwin may behave differently and have different limitations on various versions of Windows. FAQ

Moshell:

“To connect to a digital unit, you can use either the Local Management Terminal (LMT) or the TN (side network). Configure your host with an IP address of 169.254.1.15/16 and connect to the LMT port.”

Example: moshell 169.254.1.10

“Moshell will connect to the DUL using SSH, HTTP, or CORBA. It may also try to connect to the side network (TN A/TN B ports). In this case, you will need to set a route for the IP address to 169.254.1.10. For example: ip route add 10.10.10.2 via 169.254.1.10. To change the connection to 169.254.1.10, use the command set IpOam=1,Ip=1 nodeInterfaceName le0.”
