I'll have a look at the startup of the bat later :) I now have this: @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 still gives me the exact same error: C:\>start_cygwin.bat bash: line 0: cd: /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/: No such file or dir ectory Unable to access jarfile start.jar C:\cygwin\bin> However, when I have this in my .bat file: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i rem 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" I DO get the Cygwin command prompt.
