Hm, actually $arcrfname contains a full path, including /cygdrive/c/... I cut it from the script and output because it made it entirely unreadable (partly related to my mailer cutting everything at character position 73). The entire path (not screwed up by me) is: /cygdrive/c/agent/agent/var/tmp/0007-02-2005-02-28-14-05-06-readyarchive _quick.tar Which is checked for, and in most cases the script runs correctly. But once in a while, it does this thing. When I notice it and check up on it later on, the TAR file sits right where it should. Sorry for the confusion. Good spotting though =). By the way, the backslashes escaping the long lines are my doing too. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
