On rm file it removes the file.exe instead of saying file not found.
Is this behavior intended? This is not unix like, the filename should be
preserved as is
In a normal unix, programs do not need the exe suffix so on cygwin
"file.exe" can be referred as "file".
"file" is the unix way
"file.exe" is the windows way
Try:
$ cd /bin
$ ls -l bash
$ ls -l bash*
as such you can not have a second file or directory with the same name.
