I'm afraid that what you've provided only tells us what you're
doing and how you're doing it. Unfortunately, we don't know anything
else about your system or your setup. Make sure you've reviewed the
email archives for cron issues and resolutions and that you've reviewed
the cron and login READMEs (at least) as well as the user guide
(particularly
the stuff on permissions if you're running NT/W2K/XP). Oh, and a review of
the FAQ may be worthwhile as well. You never know what tid-bits are lurking
in the answers to even seemingly unrelated questions. If you don't find
something useful in all that which resolves your problem, please provide
the output of cygcheck -s -r -v as an attachment as well as the steps you
took to configure cron to the list. Someone may be able to spot your
problem given that.
Good luck,
Larry

Subject: cygwin cron
Hi ,
I'm trying to scp (without pass phrases) using dsa on cygwin cron.
scp works fine, but not within cron.
this is what I'm doing -
crontab -e
00 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/admin/perl/test.pl >> /tmp/test.txt
and this is what test.pl has:
#!/usr/bin/perl
system('scp -P 9989 -oProtocol=2 -r /cygdrive/b/IN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:tmp/.');
When I run test.pl by itself on cygwin command line, it works (meaning
it does the scp), but not within cron.
Also tried putting scp stmt itself within cron and didn't work either.
I also tried removing, installing, stopping and starting cron using
cygrunsrv. cron in general works, but is not doing the above scp stuff.
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong.. Help..
Thanks,
Smithesh.
