How to run Cygwin bash from windows scheduled task?
Hmmm.... I love these forums because I always get great prompt responses and I want to ask a question about running bash on windows. Is that allowed?

Now I know I can install cygwin cron and run bash that way.

Can I run bash from windows schedule task? How?

thanks

XP: assume your cygwin is in c:\cygwin then a cmd would look like this:

Code:
c:
cd cygwin\bin
bash -i login -c "/full/path/to/script.sh arg1 arg2 ; exit"
