make a simple windows bat file and run it from cmd.exe example.bat ------------------------ cd c:\cygwin\bin bash -l -e "your_bash_script" cd c:\your_setup_dir\cygwin setup "all your options" -------------------------- in this way setup will run after bash completes the script. And you can also shutdown the cygwin services adding at the end of the bash script something like ----------------------------- for k in `cygrunsrv -L` do cygrunsrv -E $k done ----------------------------- > > I'm sure that this has been done before, but I'm doing this > as an > intellectual learning exercise too so I didn't mention the > script when > asking the question. > > Rance > Regards Marco -- 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
