I need to run a cygwin script directly via windows, probably via dos prompt
or some other comparable method. This method needs to be automated and
kicked off in Windows at certain times, so executing Cygwin, then manually
typing in the script to run in the Cygwin prompt is out of the question.

I was hoping there would be some way to execute Cygwin and concurrently feed
it a string of commands to execute upon opening, but unfortunately I have
not had success with this. There seems to be lots of command line options
for setting display options but nothing that would allow me to feed in a
command.

Is there any method to do this? Thanks for your time.
