I've some cygwin/bash scripts and I want to invoke them without log
into the Cygwin's bash terminal.  Is this possible?
d:\> bash -c ./myscript

I've use the command:


bash -c "help set"

to find that bash accept the following option:

       -C  If set, disallow existing regular files to be overwritten
           by redirection of output.

But, I cann't find the *-c* parameter used here, could you please give
me some hints?

Note that you might have to add the path to bash (c:\cygwin\bin\bash or
similar) in case it is not in your path. Also, you might want/need to
add --login or -l to the options of bash.

Again, the bash's built-in help doesn't give me the abbr. *-l* for *--login*, any hints on this?

Regards,


For all of the above you probably wouldn't find anything in bash built-in help docs. You would find it in the man page for bash. Type 'man bash' in a cygwin window and you will find both -l and -c defined there. Just for reference...


-l - Make bash act as if it had been invoked as a login shell.
--login - Same as -l.

-c string - If the -c option is present then commands are read from string. if there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0.
