I'm probably just not aware of such a folder whose contents are executed by the system upon boot up, but if you're talking about the folder for your user account, that will only be run when you log in. If your machine automatically logs you in on boot up, you'll be fine in that case; otherwise, you'll need to hook this up a bit differently. You may want to look into the Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run I'm not sure if you can directly run a batch file there or if you'll have to run cmd with the batch file as an argument. Assuming this works for you, the only problem then will likely be that this will run as the Local System account rather than your user, which may or may not matter to you. > I the bat file I now have: > @echo off > C: > chdir C:\cygwin\bin > > bash -c "cd > /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/;java > -Dsolr.solr.home=\"./example-DIH/solr/\" -jar start.jar I forgot to include the final quote in my first reply. Try again with a quote at the end of that last line. -Jeremy -- 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
