in thread On win32 a scheduling task program doesn't work

Chances are thta this is a "permissions problem". Ie. You have set the task up to run when there is no user logged on, but failed to supply the appropriate user-id / password. .

But, it could also be a lack of a console, try system "cmd /c rsync --version";

      I suspect that you will get more help from a cygwin support forum, as this is neither a Perl nor a windows problem.
