To access this shared X drive under Cygwin it seems I have to do this :
/cygdrive/X/INBOUND/CWSCRIPTS/myscript.sh
Is this correct ? Is there a better way ?
And C: seems to be /cygdrive/C/
A BETTER way?
This has nothing per se to do with Cygwin, but, briefly:
Standardize all your systems on something YOU can control. For example, I
always create a top-level directory called l (that's the letter, not the
numeral) which stands for "local", and another called nfs, which simply
means a remote mount - could be real nfs or Samba - and then make links
within these directories to wherever they need to go. That way, all disk
space is available via either:
/l/<whatever>
or
/nfs/<whatever>
as appropriate.
And there's never any confusion over which is which - and drive letters
can be completely avoided as desired, or not.
...All (many!) good System Administrators do things similar to this...
