I do it by running a batch file from the scheduler. The batch file is a
modified version of the usual cygwin.bat that starts a cygwin window;
the mod is to the line that actually starts cygwin, i.e.
bash --login --init-file /etc/profile -x buildR.sh
>f:\cygwin\home\murdoch\build.log 2>&1
The backslashes are used because it's the Windows CMD interpreter that
runs this line.
