Running a shell script through Cygwin on Windows
batch-file, cygwin
Solution
Sure. On my (pretty vanilla) Cygwin setup, `bash` is in `c:\cygwin\bin` so I can run a `bash` script (say `testit.sh`) from a Windows batch file using a command like:
C:\cygwin\bin\bash testit.sh
... which can be included in a `.bat` file as easily as it can be typed at the command line, and with the same effect.
Problem
I have a bunch of shell scripts that used to run on a Linux machine. Now, we've switched over to Windows, and I need to run these scripts there. I have Cygwin installed, but is there a way to make the script run using Cygwin, but the call is made from Windows batch?
