I have a series of Cygwin Bash and Perl scripts for backing up my machines.  I
develop/debug them interactively using Cygwin Bash shells.  Once everything
works, I light them off using a shortcut pointing to a batch file that fires up
Cygwin Bash and tells it to process the top-level Bash shell script:

    $ cat ssh-backup-all.bat
    C:\cygwin\bin\bash ./ssh-backup-all


The top-level Bash shell script sets the environment up to match interactive
login and then does it's job:

    $ cat ssh-backup-all
    #! /bin/sh
    . /etc/profile
    . /home/dpchrist/.bash_profile
    ##### do backup stuff


HTH,

David
