Jenkin pipeling not running shell script on cygwin (windows)

I wanted to run a shell script via jenkin pepeline on cygwin. I am able to do it in a free style project but when i converted the freestyle project into pipelin. The pipeline project is not working. The root of the problem i think is "Caused: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "nohup" Can anyone suggest any solution?

Solution

  • So, I was able to find the solution. By doing the following

    D://CygwinPortable//App//Cygwin//bin//bash.exe --login -c "cd '${env.WORKSPACE}'/ShellScriptDirectory; ./filename.sh "

    PS: I used portable cygwin here
