Calling bash script from ant in (linux) and (cygwin on windows)

I have a bash script called bashScript.sh.

I need to start bashScript.sh inside an ant script on windows(cygwin) and unix/linux.

How do i do this?

I have tried this, and a few other solutions, using the environment variable but there is no env.OSTYPE. And using...

    <exec executable="/bin/bash" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="bashScript.sh"/>
    </exec>

...does not work on windows(cygwin), because cygwin fails to find \bin\bash.

Thanks, if you need more information let me know.

You can create two exec tasks with different osfamilys.

Like this:

<exec dir="." executable="C:\Path\to\cygwin\bin\bash" osfamily="windows">
    <arg value="bashScript.sh"/>
</exec>
<exec dir="." executable="/bin/bash" osfamily="unix">
     <arg value="bashScript.sh"/>
</exec>
