Regarding Moss's suggestion, I did an echo `pwd` in there, and it IS in the directory I think it is. I do an explicit cd command to make sure of that. The missing slash is a typo in the message, sorry about that. I've copied gzip.exe into my working directory, and I refer to it as ./gzip. It has stopped telling me the file is missing. However, it still doesn't zip anything. But it doesn't output to error.log, and it doesn't get to the next command, either. I've tried removing the existing .gz files in case it was a permission issue, but it still doesn't produce a .gz file. I've tried running the script again logged in as me, and it works fine. So I don't think there are any majorly silly typos left. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problem-with-bash-script-running-under-NT-AUTHORITY%5CSYSTEM-tp26617039p26617812.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
