I think he was saying that this:

    $ cat ssh-backup-all.bat
    C:\cygwin\bin\bash ./ssh-backup-all
    $ cat ssh-backup-all
    #! /bin/sh
    . /etc/profile
    . /home/dpchrist/.bash_profile
    ##### do backup stuff
      

could be reduced to this:

    $ cat ssh-backup-all.bat
    C:\cygwin\bin\bash -l ./ssh-backup-all
    $ cat ssh-backup-all
    ##### do backup stuff
