Hwllo Ashish,

There's a service built into WinNT called "at". It has a shell command
"at" to add/remove/change the job list of the service. There's some
quite comprehensive information in Windows Help (Start->Help->Windows
NT commands->Windows NT commands).

(Because I run a German WinNT your GUI Texts and Help files may be
different.)

You could make a copy of your cygnus.bat and make bash execute your
script by adding it to the call. This could look like this:

@ECHO OFF
SET MAKE_MODE=unix
SET CYGWIN32=tty
SET CYGROOT=e:\cpp\cygwin32.b19
SET CYGFS=e:/cpp/cygwin32.b19
SET CYGREL=B19
SET GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=%CYGROOT%\usr\lib\gcc-lib\
SET TCL_LIBRARY=%CYGROOT%\usr\share\tcl8.0\
SET GDBTK_LIBRARY=%CYGFS%/usr/share/gdbtcl
SET PATH=%CYGROOT%\bin;%CYGROOT%\usr\bin;%PATH%

SET HOME=/home/%USERNAME%

echo Cygnus Cygwin32 %CYGREL%
bash /bin/myscript

Then you could add this new batch to the at-daemon's job list and have
it executed when you need it.

bye

Michael
