I'm trying to automate my backup using rsync and cron. I have the ssh key pair 
setup, but still requires me manually start s cygwin shell every time I boot 
into Windows. Does anyone know of a way to start and agent and prompt for my 
passphrase at boot?

Below is what I'm using now and is what I consider a hack. I'd prefer 
something more polished.

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent`; /usr/bin/ssh-add; exit;"
