Can I invoke bash with scripts I want it to run as parameters? For instance, if I'd like a bat file that would execute bash, and then proceed to automatically run a cygwin script at at c:\foo, I'd want something like this: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -execute c:\foo Bash obviously doesn't contain an "-execute" option, but is there some method to achieve this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Automating-a-Cygwin-Script-From-Windows-tp25196125p25196534.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
