- Subject: Calling bash shell from W2K batch script
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could provide the syntax for calling a cygwin
shell script from the Windows 2000 cmd prompt. I'm trying to do something
like this:
d:\>start c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c "./script1.sh"
But it doesn't seem to be working quite right, some pipes and such don't
work and I can't execute a command in the script like > file.`date +%Y%m%d`.
What I'm trying to do is write a cygwin script to execute some mixed NT
commands and unix commands to check some network stuff, move around some
files etc. The reason I want to do it this way is to use windows task
scheduler to automate the task on a nightly bases.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared
