I've been trying the last two days to get this to work but if fails using cron with cygwin but works just fine using cron with Fedora Core 4. If I run myscript.sh from a console the script runs fine.
I can't seem to login to the ftp site when run from cron. Any ideas? I've tried running this as both Administrator and power user wess. I updated cywin to whatever was current this morning and tried again before posting this.
