Since you've decided to start using Cygwin, the best advice
is probably to write it as a shell script instead. There are
many tutorials on the web.

But if you really want to use a batch file...make sure it's
executable, then just run it--for example:

/tmp[0]$cat >eraseme.bat <<\EOF
echo Hello from batch file
EOF
/tmp[0]$chmod +x eraseme.bat
/tmp[0]$./eraseme.bat

C:\cygwin-1_7\tmp>echo Hello from batch file
Hello from batch file
