Yes there is. Install the Cygwin 'run' package (if not installed already). Use the Windows Task Scheduler interface to schedule the following command line for execution: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe bash -wait --login -c "/myfolder/myscript.sh" That's it. Your bash script should run in a "hidden" console window at the scheduled times. What's really nice is that with 'run', you don't need to have a separate .bat file. Oh, and I guess you won't need cron. -SM -- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
