I have a script that logs on to a SMB network service. Something like: net use \\server\servicename password /user:xxxx
This script run fine from the users shell environment but I need this script to run at a specific time under cron. I have tried several ways to get this running under cron. I tried installing cron without declaring a specific --user. Cron would run but whenever the script was scheduled to run it would generate a System 1312 error when trying to logon to the network service. So I added the --user and --passwd options to the cygrunsrv --install command. The user has admininstrator privileges so I expected that it could access the network service (this account can logon to the service in Explorer). Cron runs and when my script runs it now generates a System 1069 error when trying to logon to the network service. I've read through a whole bunch of cron postings today and I've seen that others have encountered similar problems also. Has anyone found a solution to this predicament? ===== Gerry Reno mailto: grenoml at@ yahoo dot. com (if mail bounces please retry later - spam rapidly fills up mailbox) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
