Hello,
I get this odd problem when calling NT commands from Cygwin. I am single-quoting the
data, but the way I'm doing things (probably wrong...) does not like passing $1
function arguments to NT commands. If I hardcode the arguments internally, everything
works.
The two example functions below are intended to behave identical.
#!/bin sh
mount_drive () {
# Syntax: net 'use' '*' '\\redhat\foo' 'foo' '/user:foo'
net 'use' 'F:' '\\redhat\foo' 'foo' '/user:foo'
echo "The command returned $?"
return $?;
}
mount_drive2 () {
net '$1' '$2' '$3' '$4' '$5'
echo "we saw in mount_drive2: '$1' '$2' '$3' '$4' '$5' "
echo "The command returned $?"
return $?;
}
#
mount_drive
mount_drive2 'use' 'G:' '\\redhat\foo' 'foo' '/user:foo'
############# END SCRIPT
the output I get from mount_drive2 is standard "usage info", indicating I passed
arguments incorrectly. However the debug echo *looks* correct.
Someone please point out my mistake, else I'm doomed to some ugly hackish workarounds
;-)
Thanks,
Scott
