UnxUtils Reviews

aweeeeesome

Excellent, useful and essential to me for decades whenever I realize I am using windows not Unix but require certain things which should be a core component of ANY OS, for example, grep... I mean, how do you live without that? Honestly, how do you live without apropos or cat or awk or... ALL OF THE STANDARD UNIX stuff... perhaps I am just a fool for thinking this way. However, I have been told by many people (once they discover Linux or BSD or some flavor of Unix, even the terminal in Mac-OS...) that they only use windows (Microsoft) operating systems when absolutely necessary... such as a client uses it and the argument to switch is not worth the effort. For anyone who has attempted to explain Unix/Linux to a Windows only person... you know what I mean. Point-and-Click stuff is ALL they know and anything else is considered LESS or inferior. Funny how the truth is so very polar+opposite to that entire concept... OK, yeah DOWNLOAD AND PLACE THESE TOOLS IN YOUR PATH. You will be happy. works on windows 10 pro 64bit

I can understand in principle the remark about this being old and unmaintained but I could not find the w32 package referenced in the comment, only "GnuWin32" (I assume that was the one intended) which is here at sourceforge - however that package appears not to contain the date.exe utility which is in UnxUtils, at a glance the only date utility visible being one to print the date in Latin(!) The point of interest in UnxUtils for me is the aforesaid date.exe 38.5KB modified 10/10/2000 00:00, MD5: 5e978ec5f615396eaa1b14334197b68e which I found worked fine in a batch file on Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 for the purpose for which I downloaded it namely to add the file's date/time attributes to its filename.

very useful project, thanks

I use it whenever I need to restore my sanity on Windows w/o diving into cygwin madness or mingw

So far, these unix commands work well in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit which is a relief given MS and their "show me the money" unix utilities cannot be installed unless I upgrade to a non-existent Windows 7 Ultimate release. So thank you very much for these as my decades old batch files continue to live on for several more years I hope.

Great tools, very useful for those of us who work on windows and have grown fond of certain unix based tools. Only gripe is that they are REALLY out of date... last build in main zipfile is from year 2000 and the update (only on the website, not here, for some strange reason) only brings a few up to year 2003.

Simply great for the Unix admin that has to cope with Windows from time to time. These utilities will find a home on the USB stick in my keyring.

My the most favorite util is wget.exe for running my web scripts.

Just spent about 15 minutes with it. Some excellent Unix utilities here. Missing 'strings', which I use a lot. Also needed to rename the unix utilities that were also DOS utilities: find -> unixfind and type -> unixtype.

Being able to use so many Unix tools on Windows is great. UnxUtils rulez :-) . Keep on the good work! Give us more if possible. Thanks a lot!

Reduces Linux envy. A lightweight alternative to resorting to Cygwin for many of your Windows deficiencies. 1 - Extract zip to C:\unxutils\ 2 - Add to path: C:\unxutils\usr\local\wbin

Almost every command terminates with. zsh: fork failed: no such file or directory

Perfect tools

Cool, works. Only missing Windows installer package which would automatically modify the %Path% environment variable.

Cygwin? We don neeeeed no stiiinking Cygwin! Where has this been my whole career!

Thank you for your work.

Unxutils works perfectly.

Great App ,Excellent

brilliant project. thanks!

I tried it on one of my VPS servers and so far it is very smooth and error-free

Sorry, but having builds of 10 year old versions of really good open source tools will do more harm then good. No bug reports are answered. This project is dead. Better us GnuWin32 Take "which v2.4". It doesn't find .exe files if you don't explicitely search for them and it does not find files when they are in the current directory, but not in %PATH%.

Insanely great if you're stuck using Windows.

Awesome free project with support for help.

Thanks for so usefull driver.
