cygwin 1.7.7-1 Windows 2008 64-bit I have a script that I am trying to run from cron that copies a local file on a Windows 2008 server to a UNC path on another Windows 2008 server. It works fine in a non-Production environment, but not in Production and I can't figure out why. Yes, I've dutifully searched the forum and looked at http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html The answer is not popping out at me. What I'm doing is basically this: cp a.a \\\\server-name\\sharename What I get in Production is: cp: cannot create regular file `//server-name/sharename': File exists
So what's the difference between your "Production" and "non-Production" environments? What exactly are you doing in both environments? FWIW, you're better off using forward-slashes for pathnames in Cygiwn (i.e. //server-name/sharename). -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
