But for the scripts we have to run Cygnus.bat There's a service built into WinNT called "at". It has a shell command "at" to add/remove/change the job list of the service. There's some quite comprehensive information in Windows Help (Start->Help->Windows NT commands->Windows NT commands).

Basically I need a non-interactive way >of running my script. You could make a copy of your cygnus.bat and make bash execute your script by adding it to the call. This could look like this: @ECHO OFF SET MAKE_MODE=unix SET CYGWIN32=tty SET CYGROOT=e:\cpp\cygwin32.b19 SET CYGFS=e:/cpp/cygwin32.b19 SET CYGREL=B19 SET GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=%CYGROOT%\usr\lib\gcc-lib\ SET TCL_LIBRARY=%CYGROOT%\usr\share\tcl8.0\ SET GDBTK_LIBRARY=%CYGFS%/usr/share/gdbtcl SET PATH=%CYGROOT%\bin;%CYGROOT%\usr\bin;%PATH% SET HOME=/home/%USERNAME% echo Cygnus Cygwin32 %CYGREL% bash /bin/myscript Then you could add this new batch to the at-daemon's job list and have it executed when you need it. bye Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
