Sometimes my Windows server reboots at night to install new updates. Then the
next day I find out that my cygwin instance has been stopped.

What I want is on Windows start, also run Cygwin AND run a specific command.

so, step 1: Right now I have a cygwin.bat to start cygwin:

@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i

step 2 is to enter the command in the command windows that appears after
running cygwin.bat:

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

But this command is what I want to have called automatically when i run
cygwin.bat

How can I combine step 1 and step 2 into a single bat file which I can run
on Windows start?

I tried this code:
@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

But that doesnt work...
