cygwin/bash script

["Stephen Adler" <user=65@nabble.blu.org>]

 Guys, 

I want to write a bash script which runs under cygwin and executable by 
double clicking on the file icon on my desktop. What's the trick? 

I know what I wrote is a bit cryptic, but here's what I've done. 

I've made a basic install of cygwin on my Windows PC. 
I can run the bash shell command window, from which I can type all my 
well known unix like command, and get tab completion etc. If I write a 
bash script, I can run it from the command line in that window. 

Now, what I want to do is create a bash script and put the file on my 
desktop, thus showing up as an icon on my screen. Next I want to be able 
to double click on the icon and have it execute my bash script within 
the cygwin environment. 

I did a quick search through the cygwin web site, but I didn't find 
anything which talked about these details. Has anyone done this kind of 
stuff? 

Thanks. 

Steve.
