...yes, it seems right. > Then another question arises where does the std output and std error > go too? 2>&1 >> foo_file ? > > I could fix that by running rsync in quite mode -q Well, if you want to save the log, you can simply redirect all the output in a file, so append something like that to your original command (inside the '): >> /any/path/log_file do the job. If you want to discharge the output, appending : 2>&1 should be enough. Anyway, after the shell command is ran, the shell close itself. It is also possible to create a bash script on cygwin environment and then start it by the way described above.
