You want to run with cygwin a .ksh file stored in "C:\Documents and
Settings\user" ?
Well, in cygwin the system drive are mapped in this way :
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
...so i can do:
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/<user>/
...to switch to Win <user> home directory.
I recommend to soft link your Windows home directory (C:\Documents and
Settings\<user>) to the linux home folder (/home/<user>) in this way:
$ mv /home/<user>/ /home/<user>.old/
(move the original folder to another)
$ ln -s /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/<user> /home/<user>
(link the Win home dir to cygwin linux home dir)
$ cp -R /home/<user>.old/ * /home/<user>/.
(right to have the .profile .bash* file)
In this way, cd to /home/<user> and you will find yourself in your
Win home dir.
Of course, you can soft link any other path.
Remeber only that the Windows C: drive in cygwin environment is /cygdrive/c/.
So, coming back to our .bat file:
....
bash --login -i -c '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/<user>/script.ksh'
...
-or, if you soft link Win home dir to /home/<user>:
...
bash --login -i -c '/home/<user>/script.ksh'
...
Hope i understand well :-D
