I briefly went through the archives and apologize if this is an extremely elementary question but i seem to have a brain cramp here ....
My boss installed cygwin on a win 2000 machine I am having trouble finding the window that cygwin and nt talk to each other through ... what i basically have done is written a simple bash script --- i am now trying to schedule it from the setup log it appears boss has not installed cron ... he thinks i should be able to schedule a batch job as follows that calls the bash shell script --- it doesnt seem to work (I am fairly unix savvy i am not terribly nt savvy but i have been in the IT field a number of year) -- i had also had that thought last night because i thought of COURSE the boss knows what he is talking about and if he says i can use windows at command to schedule something in cygwin it must be the way .... so my question(s) are: 1) can i use windows nt to access the bash job and how ... I tried the following and got the following errors C:\jobs>e:\cygwin\bin\bash -c e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh date: not found date: not found date: not found cp: not found date: not found cp: not found C:\jobs>date added #!/bin/bash to top of shell script C:\jobs>e:\cygwin\bin\bash -c e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh: date: command not found e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh: date: command not found e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh: date: command not found e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh: cp: command not found e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh: date: command not found e:/cygwin/jobs/umassonline_log_rotate.sh: cp: command not found C:\jobs>umassonline_rotate_logs.bat 2) if not --- i probably need cron? to add this to the current setup without messing up anything the boss installed -- do i run setup again? or something else .. 3) how do i keep cron up in the windows environment? ie --- do i need to run inetd as a service or cron as a service??? can you point me toward how to do this? I have perused various parts of the documentations and mailing list archives. I can't seem to find an answer and since i wasted a lot of time trying to get cronolog (log rotation program) to work i am way behind on getting this shell script running (it is a log rotation script) ... Thanks in advance for any help on this ... Karen
