NOTE 2: In Jenkins/configuration/ under shell I mention C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe
After that below is the output

Kindly suggest How to execute sh file from jenkins running on windows

Answer 1

For each windows slave you can do the following to add cygwin to path assuming that your slave has cygwin installed already
Jenkins - Manage Jenkins - Manage Nodes
node - Configure
Environment variables : list of key-value pairs
add: name: PATH value: ${PATH};path-to-cygwin\bin
E.g., name: PATH value: ${PATH};d:\tools\cygwin\bin

Answer 2

here is the solution: Shell executable path to cygwin_home\bin\sh and in jenkins build step->execute shell command give the file name ex *.sh or clear Shell executable path and in jenkins build step->execute windows batch command sh path*.sh
