Alistair:
I have been able to write cygwin expect scripts to telnet to remote
boxes running the cygwin telnetd and then subsequently invoke
bash scripts. I did this to work around the in-ability to map
network drives under cron (cron calls the expect script that
telnets in to launch the bash script :->). I can e-mail you an example
;let me know.

perl -e 'print unpack("u", "\.\=\$\!T\<F\]D\;6\%N\+F\-O\;0H\`");'
