How to run a BASH script in a Batch file (with Cygwin)

FaeDine · 10-27-2007, 06:09 AM

What I'm trying to do is setup a Bash script to run in Windows, but do it with just a single command.

I have Cygwin installed, and I know it's possible to just make a copy of the cygwin.bat start file and edit it to run a script and close down cygwin. I remember doing it a few months back, but after a format cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it again.

The end result is just being able to run the script by just calling the .bat file so I don't have to load up Cygwin every time I run it. Any ideas on how to do this?

how about:

Code:

c:\cygwin\bin\bash  myscript

Yup, that did it alright...

I had tried that initially before posting, but after seeing it posted here, gave it a closer look. It ends up I had taken Cygwin out of the windows PATH environmental variable (had a conflict with something else). Once I added it back in, it worked just fine...

Thanks for the bump in the right direction.. It's all it takes, sometimes
