How to run cygwin on boot

How to run cygwin on boot

[J.V.]

I need to run a .bat file on startup that will launch a cygwin bash script.

I can put the .bat file in the folder "startup" to connect some network 
drives and then I want to launch a bash script.

Can this be done?

thanks

J.V.

yes.
make a copy of cygwin.bat that is in the the cygwin root
and use

   bash -c "your script"

instead of

   bash --login -i

You may want to keep the "--login" option, e.g.,

    bash --login -c "your script"

Otherwise you will not get important parts of the Cygwin environment
such as PATH.

And get a long hiccup in exchange.
With --login it takes a long while for bash to start up.
Better make necessary adjustments in your default environment to make basic
cygwin stuff work without a second poke.
