On the last point, does this happen even when using the Task Scheduler utility and running the script as a specified account? I'm working on a script that needs to run periodically throughout the day and intend to use the WinNT Task Scheduler--the script appears to run fine so far from the DOS command line. Are there special instructions for running it under Task Scheduler as a particular account? Thanks

You will run into the same problem if you try running your scripts in the scheduler. -----Original Message----- From: Akens, Anthony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 7:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Strange behaviour of chdir in mapped drives Is the drive you're trying to access actually mapped for the user you're running the cgi-bin as? Remember, in windows drive mappings are a per-user thing, so while yes it will work when you run it at a command line it's because you're logged in and have the drive mapped. When you're running it through a web browser as a cgi-bin program the drive has to be mapped. I think if I remember right it actually needs to be mapped for the user the web server is running as, though it's been a while. It would probably be much easier for you to use the unc path. \\server\share Tony -----Original Message----- From: beginner beginner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 8:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Strange behaviour of chdir in mapped drives Hi, I have tried it through command line It is working When i used the same code and put the file in cgi-bin and try to run through explorer it didn't worked $basedir= "I:/tech/work/web/Documents"; chdir($basedir) or die $!; $test=`dir /s /b *.*`; print $test; If I simply replace I: with D: It starts working.
