I could give you two ways to do that:

1) You simply have to edit /etc/bash.bashrc then add the line that executes 
aaa.txt.  For example, if, as you say, your file aaa.txt is in "c:\temp 
dir" and contains a *simple* grep command, then the line on the 
/etc/bash.bashrc file would look like this:

`cat /cygdrive/c/temp\ dir/aaa.txt`

Note the backticks at the start and end of the line and note that the 
directory appears as:

"temp\ dir"

and not

"temp dir"



2) You could actually put the entire grep command on /etc/bash.bashrc if 
you wish.


Thank you very much!

Best Regards,

Carlo
