i think i used the wrong term when i said window ... bash is working ... i can use a dos window --- and get in --- not a problem there -- i dont know where system path on nt is done -- since dos does seem to know about bash --- i think this has been done (i can look this one up in nt help)
i guess what i am asking is can i use the nt at command to schedule the bash script ... what i did is made a .bat file --- in that file it says <path to cygwin bin>bash -c <full path to bash script> i just tried running the bat manually to see if it ran my bash script --- figured if it did that i would then use at to schedule it ... so do i want/need cron or is the above scenario ok??? I think i tried either bash -i --login or both and i believe what happened then is that it got into bash --- and then didnt know what to do ... i will double check that and let you know for sure but i know i tried various ways to try to get these two talking so dos does talk to my cygwin --- sorry for the misunderstanding --- the question is more what do i use to schedule --- and do i need to run cron as a service or somethin as a service if i do use cron ... the cygwin icon is on the start menu --- i cant verify the desktop right now but i will guess yes -- can verify later ... and yes if i click it it launches a dos window and puts me in cygwin (bash) shell ... thanks for your time and help .... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
