How to run a crontab in Cygwin on Windows
- Install cygrunsrv and cron packages from the admin bundle (with 'Install from internet" option)
- From a Cygwin prompt, type:
cygrunsrv --install cron --path /usr/sbin/cron --args -n
- Start the cron daemon from a Windows prompt with:
net start cron
or from a Cygwin prompt with:
cygrunsrv --start cron
or don't use cron at all!
Create a scheduled task with the windows scheduler by calling the shell program
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l -c /cygwin/path/to/shell

Run this from a Cygwin terminal
