Ok, I take it back. "setup.exe -q" will work on an SSH remote
connection. It remains to be seen if it actually updates packages, but
a GUI setup display did not appear on the the local Windows display with
a remotely invoked "setup.exe -q". Thus, I question if "setup.exe -q"
on a remote SSH session will actually update anything. Cygnus for
Windows is "da bom" in my book. You guys have been great in your
comments. Usually postings like this for me results in virtual blank
stares.
There are more settings you can use to get finer grain control of
the operation of setup...
Here's the bach file I use to drive setup so that it can update and
install specific packages. It's a txt file, just rename it to bat
and it will run.
