The gist is that one can use Windows Task Manager to start a single

bash script with elevated privileges and that script can run the scripts

in a given directory, with elevated privileges.  Various Linux

distributions use /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} for this purpose.


$ head -5 /usr/bin/run-parts
#!/bin/bash# Name: /usr/bin/run-parts        Modified by Joe Smith
(joeinwap,gmail)
# Purpose: Runs jobs sequentially at regular intervals
(daily,weekly,monthly)# Concept taken from Debian, copied from RHEL-5,
modified for Cygwin.
# See end for "How to run cron jobs with elevated privs on Cygwin".
