There is an ancient set of tools, called GnuWin, which consists of ports of shell and some other Unix utilities to Windows. It doesn't require installation, it works just from a download. It is a bare bones stuff, see whether that may be sufficient for you. I haven't utilized it for years now.  Here is the URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32

Now that I started poking around, I discovered the 64 bit version, too:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin64

I have never used it.

Is there any Software that doesn't need install like putty available to provide Unix Shell capabilities. I used cygwin earlier and even setup wirh rlwrap as been demo by Tanel and using Terminator to setup all scripts for Database monitoring. Now company put new security updates that stop the Cygwin access and so looking for some alternative as the laptop has no Admin privilege to install any software.

Even software that needs to pay for the license is fine or any other way to make the Putty interface better like  cygwin or unix emulator so that I can do setup on one of the database server with all monitoring setup and can connect using tnsnames.ora for all server. Currently simple putty is not that friendly.

Thanks for sharing the details
