Re: Running a shell Script Directly from windows
I have had the best luck using the 'run' utility to avoid extra consoles and other 'shtuff' like that. Haven't seen any doc about it though so it may disappear. Dunno the details. For example, I create a shortcut for running X so that I don't get the extra console window where bash ran... That shortcut runs this: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe bash --login -c startx Clearly your path needs to be setup correctly. The stuff we call software is not like anything that human society is used to thinking about. Software is something like a machine, and something like mathematics, and something like language, and something like thought, and art, and information... but software is not in fact any of those other things.

Running a shell Script Directly from windows
I am wondering if Cygwin provides a way to run shell scripts or other programs that run within Cygwin, directly from windows (or a .bat). In other words, I would like to double-click something on my desktop and have it run the shell script. I have fooled a little with bash command-line options and whatnot, but to no avail. Any insight or URL's that lead to an answer would be greatly appreciated. -Scott Longley P.S.

If your cygwin bin directory is not in your path then the shortcut will have to include it, i.e. c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe /home/foo/bar.sh. The executable's location is a Windows path, the args to it are POSIX paths. If the script has something other than /bin/sh in the shebang, then substitute appropriately.

I guess that the following solution is better, as no additional files except for the script itself are used. Right-click script.sh, select open with, choose a program (or whatever the name for the option is), then go to your Cygwin directory, select bash.exe, mark always ... and then click ok. Since then, everytime you double-click the script, it will be launched.
