UnxUtil - Run Unix / Linux command in Windows

Life sucks when you are asked to make your script run in Windows, that you have written for Linux and that uses lots of Unix or Linux specific system commands :(

But there is a nice tool name UnxUtil that you can install on your windows and run Unix / Linux commands in the command line. UnxUtil will speed up your development by saving hours.

You can download it from here. After download, just extract it in a directory and add the PATH in your ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE (PATH) (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables).

Thats all!

Nice tool. You can achieve the same and even more with cygwin, using the same trick with the environment.

Interesting tool set, but as mentioned in earlier comment, Cygwin does "a lot more." Another option are the GnuWin32 ports.

Do any of the aforementioned tools support nfs client? I would like to mount a remote linux nfs directory under Vista.
Thanks.
