Actually my intent is to run this from an automated schedular.  As
Eric described it could be run from cron like any other Unix shell
script but I really don't want to add a cron daemon.  Was thinking
windoze schedular.

The base install of cygwin is on an E: drive.  C: didn't have enough room.

So if I understand correctly something like -


E:

chdir E:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i -c 'rsync -avz root AT 10 DOT 0 DOT 0 DOT 2 :/home/funnel/Jan*
/cygdrive/e/Earchives'

So as I read more through the bash man the -c argument was what I was
looking for.

Then another question arises where does the std output and std error
go too?   2>&1 >> foo_file ?

I could fix that by running rsync in quite mode -q

Thanks
