This sounds more like a generic bash question than a Cygwin one but I'll
bite.  If you'll only ever have one window started from cygwin.bat open
at a time, just add the start-up to ~/.bash_login and the shutdown to 
~/.bash_logout.  If you'll have more than one window open at a time, you'll
want to add some logic to avoid multiple attempts to start and stop these
services.

HTH,
