Have you looked at using cron? That would be the unixy way of doing
things. But you can invoke bash and give it a script and some parameters
in your "sh.bat" file-
at 12:15 cmd /c "c:\bla\bla\sh.bat"
contents of sh.bat-
bash -i /cygdrive/c/bla/bla/MyScript parameter1 parameter2
(the -i makes the shell interactive, forcing ~/.bashrc to be run- check
out 'bash -c "help set"')
HTH,
