Hello guys , I am trying to check my OS type here : 
if (( $OSTYPE eq "cygwin" ) or ( $TERM eq "cygwin" ))
{
    $DRIVENAME=`pwd | tr '/' ' ' | gawk '{print $1}'`;
    # additional check for newer versions of cygwin that
    # do not support //drivename conventions
    
    if ( $DRIVENAME eq "cygdrive" )
    {
        $DRIVENAME=`pwd | tr '/' ' ' | gawk '{print $2}'`;
        $BASEDIR="/cygdrive/$DRIVENAME";
    }
    else
    {
        $BASEDIR="//$DRIVENAME";
    }

    $NICE=`nice -n +10`;
}
else
{
    $BASEDIR="/vobs/nbss";
    $NICE="";
}
