can you help me as early as possible..
First, have you ensured that you set up the same environment for your script when run by 'crond' as you have with the interactive shell? This is a common problem for users of Cron and is not Cygwin-specific. I would suggest pursuing this first if you have not already verified that this is not the problem. Second, if you're accessing any network shares, this won't work by default. See <http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares> Third, you have both MSYS and Cygwin in your path. You should make sure that only Cygwin is in the path that 'crond' sees and uses. I'd say the same about Perl. -- 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
