Hi, I am trying to run a cron job on a Windows 2000 server. What I want is to run a bash or sh shell script and mail the output to me on an other machine.
Cron is running under the administrator account as a service. For testing purposes I have a script that is in the home directory of the administrator account and I want to run that every minute, sending any output in a email to me. I actually get an email every minute with the contents: "/bin/sh: Mail: command not found" I assume that I do not fully understand when to use what kind of paths in my files (and cygwin is NOT in my system path because of name clashes with other executables but is situated at d:\cygwin). Can anyone point me in the right direction? crontab.exe -l: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.3424 installed on Fri Sep 29 08:38:58 2006) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41 corinna Exp $) # (Use to post in the top of your crontab) # ------------- minute (0 - 59) # | ----------- hour (0 - 23) # | | --------- day of month (1 - 31) # | | | ------- month (1 - 12) # | | | | ----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0) # | | | | | # * * * * * command to be executed [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * /bin/sh /home/Administrator/crontest The script that should be run: path in Cygwin: "/home/Administrator/crontest" path in Windows: "d:\cygwin\home\Administrator\crontest" #!/bin/sh /bin/ls / /bin/ls / > /home/Administrator/crontest.ls #end of file /bin/sh: Mail: command not found -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
