How can I run a script?

Actually my intent is to run this from an automated schedular. As
Eric described it could be run from cron like any other Unix shell
script but I really don't want to add a cron daemon. Was thinking
windoze schedular.
The base install of cygwin is on an E: drive. C: didn't have enough room.
So if I understand correctly something like -
E:
chdir E:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i -c 'rsync -avz root@10.0.0.2 :/home/funnel/Jan*
/cygdrive/e/Earchives'
So as I read more through the bash man the -c argument was what I was
looking for.
Then another question arises where does the std output and std error
go too? 2>&1 >> foo_file ?
I could fix that by running rsync in quite mode -q
Thanks
