I notice path is different between a ssh interactive session and a ssh 
remote command.
When running remote command with ssh, the path does not include path to 
cygwin
Workaround: should manually add path to cygwin at the very beginning
e.g. into a shell script:
    #!/bin/sh
    PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH" ; export PATH
    ....

I have MKS toolkit installed on my windows machine, thinking MKS shell 
were launched instead of cygwin shell because MKS in the windows system 
path.
Perhaps a sshd server option or configuration setup to define cygwin 
shell as the default shell for remote commands?
