Hi...tried for a long, long time trying to make this work to no avail...and
did not find help online.

Using Windows XP, I am running a bash script via the windows task scheduler,
which is calling Cygwin.bat ...The command being tasked is:

C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat /myfolder/myscript.sh


The tasking works fine, and my sript runs great, however since the task is
to run every 10 minutes, I am trying to have it so the DOS/Cygwin window
does not pop up every time the scripts executes  (it runs completely
"silent" or at worst, is the window is minimized).

I have attempted the "run a shortcut to the batch file" method, but
scheduler will not execute the tasks properly for the .lnk

I have been working on this for a long time...any help would be appreciated.

BTW, I can succesfully get the window to minimize, but can't get it to close
automatically.  I have tried everything from modifying the batch file with
exit commands, to using cmd /C start /min with an @Exit, but nothing will
get the minimized window to close.

Thank you,
Mike
