I'm adapting a BASH script to run with an absolute minimal amounts of Cygwin64 files so colleagues using Windows can use it without installing Cygwin.
I am down to the following in /bin only (replacing cut with parameter substitution eliminated all needed things in /etc)
bash.exe
cygattr-1.dll
cygiconv-2.dll
cygintl-8.dll
cygncursesw-10.dll
cygreadline7.dll
cygwin1.dll
cygwin-console-helper.exe (mintty misbehaves without this)
find.exe (using a wildcard, directory type, recursion, and file attribute output so replacement unlikely): $( find "$dataDir" -type d -name '*.aps' -printf '%T@|%p\n' -prune | sort -nr )
ls.exe (expanding * and suppressing whitespace with OFS=$'\n'): $(ls -dr "${apsFolder[$apsIn]}""/Run"*)
mintty.exe (used to support ANSI bold, underline, etc.)
mv.exe (I think I can replace this with a > and then rm): mv "${runFolder[$runIn]}" "${apsFolder[$apsIn]}""/Run""$padded"" - ""$newName"
rename.exe (using * wildcard): rename "$runName" "$newName" "$excelFolder""/"*".csv"
rm.exe: rm "${runFolder[$runIn]}""/comm" &>/dev/null
sed.exe (already planning on replacing with ${var/Pattern/Replacement})
sort.exe: $( find "$dataDir" -type d -name '*.aps' -printf '%T@|%p\n' -prune | sort -nr )
stat.exe: dateStamp=$(stat -c '%y' "$i") (keep in mind these are windows files either on the users hard drive or a windows share)
Any low handing fruit? No need to write the code for me just point me in the right direction.

Update: looks like find is (sometimes?) needing something in /etc as well (cant be all the time or I could not have been able to test cut). Any trick to find out what other than trial and error (what I used so far)?

Hadoop has been next on my list for a while and my organization seems to be moving toward Python for scripting (previously an in-house extended version of VB). I'm an engineer not a programmer. They are end users who can't code at all.
