cygpath
If you need to pass filename arguments from a Cygwin shell to Windows-native programs, you'll probably find cygpath useful.
Setting up some Cygwin services
Setting up cron
First, make sure cron is even installed. Apparently, it's not default. Look under "Admin".
Then, the prevailing command sequence is
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D net start cron
Setting up sshd
Start with
ssh-host-config
Yes to privilege separation, yes to local user sshd, yes to install as a service, and default for how to set CYGWIN= at start.
Then,
net start sshd
If you only want to run the thing on localhost, comment any ListenAddress lines in sshd_config except one saying
ListenAddress 127.0.0.1
Permissions required to do that are something you can figure out.
