I am trying to run a script on cygwin prompt.
ssh-keygen -t rsa $email
eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
mkdir -p /proj/env
ln -s /usr/bin/proj/env/bin
and running it as email="john.warnet" sh script1.sh.
But it is showing error as
Too many arguments.

I tried running the script by writing the command on prompt instead of copying.But couldnt find the solution.
You can run it like below in case you need to pass email address as an argument to ssh-keygen
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C $1
