See script below sja.exe is actually in program files, my kludge below was to use a mount (rather
than the short name)

(sja.exe is SQLYOG Job Agent)

dirbackup="c:/backup/dosh/"


eval filedate=$(date.exe '+%d%b%y')

ls -l c:/backup/dosh/doshautoexport.sql

sjaprog="/sqlyog/sja.exe"
sjascript="c:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/sql/dosh-batch.xml"
sjarun="$sjaprog $sjascript";
$sjarun
