@barlop SUA installs "Subsystem for windows" in the start menu including "Korn Shell" and "C Shell". If you were to run ksh.bat then do as as the shortcut does, so with -l ksh -l i.e. ksh.bat -l otherwise you get errors. This is covered here superuser.com/questions/841795/…

| Nov 18, 2014 at 15:14 | comment | added | barlop | @dsolimano by the way, how did you notice that ksh was in the start menu? I see it when I search for ksh though it doesn't appear in any folder | |
| Nov 18, 2014 at 15:12 | comment | added | barlop | @dsolimano I can't get commands running in ksh i.e. in the shell that appears after running ksh.bat superuser.com/questions/841795/… | |

| Nov 18, 2014 at 14:46 | comment | added | barlop | @slhck brief note, worth noting that windows has a whoami command. | |
| Nov 18, 2014 at 14:45 | comment | added | barlop | @dsolimano I might make a new question out of that.. i'll let you know.. | |
| Nov 18, 2014 at 14:14 | comment | added | dsolimano | Do you have Bash or KSH on the start menu somewhere? That works for me. | |

@slhck no. you don't need to add the directory to the path if (as you suggested earlier) you give the absolute path(or if you are in the directory and do .\command. i'm largely a windows guy but I know many *nix commands. I already took into account re the path. I just tried adding it to the path, no difference.

@slhck Just tried it, it didn't run. It said 'c:\windows\sua\bin\whoami' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. (out of interest, what, if any, setting do you have that can make extensionless files run as executable?)

Have you tried simply running C:\Windows\SUA\bin\whoami? A file does not need to be named .exe to be executable.
