Cygwin error that sysctl cannot be found in directory /usr/local/bin

Question

Running tuning-primer.sh on Cygwin results in the error: sysctl not in directory /usr/local/bin or Error: Needed command "sysctl" not found in PATH!

I have added sysctl code that I found on this url

and created files sysctl.c, sysctl.h using notepad++ and put it in the dir /usr/local/bin but still this error occurs.

Any solution ?...

And it's probably not needed. What's in the file? – not2qubit Oct 17 '18 at 11:34 — not2qubit, Oct 17 '18 at 11:34

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysctl

sysctl is not available on cygwin. Please note that there is no Kernel to tune.

If tuning-primer.sh (what ever is, you have not mentioned) expects to find sysctl than probably it is not supposed to be run on Cygwin
