Hi, I'm using Cygwin on a Windows 2000 Server box. I mount some network drives from other Windows machines's shared directories, and the problem is cron jobs can't access these drives.
A given script will access mounted net drives as /cygwin/f/ when manually invoked, but that SAME script will refuse to access the same drives when triggered by a cron job. If I type 'net use' before the cron starts, the status of the network drives is "OK", but if I repeat 'net use' after the cron has triggered the script with failure to access network drives, I then get "Disconnected" as status. However, I'm still able to manually go in /cygwin/f/ and list files, even though the status has become "Disconnected". Anyone knows how to fix this problem? I want to back up these network drives on tape with tar scheduled by cron. TIA.
