I have a bunch of shell scripts that used to run on a Linux machine. Now, we've switched over to Windows, and I need to run these scripts there. I have Cygwin installed, but is there a way to make the script run using Cygwin, but the call is made from Windows batch?

Execute Shell Script FilesOpen Command Prompt and navigate to the folder where the script file is available. Type Bash script-filename.sh and hit the enter key. It will execute the script, and depending on the file, you should see an output.
The Cygwin installation creates a Bash shell along with a UNIX environment by which you can compile and run UNIX-like programs. Using this one can even create an emulated X server on your windows box and run UNIX-like GUI software tools.
Sure. On my (pretty vanilla) Cygwin setup, bash is in c:\cygwin\bin so I can run a bash script (say testit.sh) from a Windows batch file using a command like:
C:\cygwin\bin\bash testit.sh ... which can be included in a .bat file as easily as it can be typed at the command line, and with the same effect.
