I have a project that needs to rsync. I have the following code in my script…

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" "<locationto>\git.sh"
"C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat" "<locationto>\rsync.sh"

I am doing this because I need rsync and the Git version installed doesn’t have it. The first command executes fine but the msys.bat doesn’t seem to accept the param.

Is there a way I can force MSys to work the same way as sh.exe?

    I solved this the following way

    1. Copy msys.bat to msys2.bat
    2. Edit msys2.bat

    To do this change…

    :startsh if NOT EXIST %WD%sh.exe goto notfound
    start %WD%sh –login -i exit

    To

    :startsh if NOT EXIST %WD%sh.exe goto notfound start %WD%sh –login -i
    -c “/c/[location]/rsync.sh” exit

    Finally you run the msys2.bat instead.
