This was a big help for me as well. I made a slight change to the syntax though.

cmd /c '"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i -- H:\Daily_Reports\yesterdayTogglReport.sh'

Using single quotes ( apostrophes ) to enclose everything that is being passed to cmd /c .

Thanks again.

In windows 10 task scheduler action configuration this can also be done by

Action: Start a program
Program/script: "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" (or whatever your bash.exe location is)
Add Arguments: --login -i -- H:\Daily_Reports\yesterdayTogglReport.sh

Big help !
Unfortunately, opening bash.exe always ask me for ssh key passphrase (work requirement).
Is there a way to avoid those passphrases ?
Thanks !

There are a number of options.

I just duplicated my key and removed the passphrase for batch jobs (insecure depending on where/how you store your key files, but solves this particular problem). This may violate your company's requirement, so don't do this when you've been required to have a passphrase; use this second option.

Another option is in this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21095054/ssh-key-still-asking-for-password-and-passphrase (You're looking for the ssh-add/ssh-agent info). Also look here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases

Hi tried, but the action result stucked 'in esecution'
I tried via CMD and It works properly.
Any suggestion?

Same problem here. Did you discover a solution?

@ryansherby I bypass the cmd and call it the .sh file directly instead.
