Then the next day I find out that my cygwin instance has been stopped. What I want is on Windows start, also run Cygwin AND run a specific command. so, step 1: Right now I have a cygwin.bat to start cygwin: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i step 2 is to enter the command in the command windows that appears after running cygwin.bat: cd /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/;java -Dsolr.solr.home="./example-DIH/solr/" -jar start.jar But this command is what I want to have called automatically when i run cygwin.bat How can I combine step 1 and step 2 into a single bat file which I can run on Windows start? I tried this code: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash -c cd /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/;java -Dsolr.solr.home="./example-DIH/solr/" -jar start.jar But that doesnt work... -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Autostart-Cygwin-on-Windows-boot-and-run-a-cygwin-command-tp31144428p31144428.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
