Actually my intent is to run this from an automated schedular. As Eric described it could be run from cron like any other Unix shell script but I really don't want to add a cron daemon. Was thinking windoze schedular.
The base install of cygwin is on an E: drive. C: didn't have enough room. So if I understand correctly something like - E: chdir E:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c 'rsync -avz [EMAIL PROTECTED] :/home/funnel/Jan* /cygdrive/e/Earchives' So as I read more through the bash man the -c argument was what I was looking for. Then another question arises where does the std output and std error go too? 2>&1 >> foo_file ? I could fix that by running rsync in quite mode -q Thanks btb On 1/14/08, Mirco Piccin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. > > > can login to a shell from windows and run commands but how do I create a > script > > I think you mean to run a command without open cygwin shell. > If i understand well, here you are how i've done that. > > First of all, i've created a file .bat (example: run_rsynch.bat) on my > desktop > .. and inside that (supposing you install cygwin in your C: drive): > > C: > > chdir C:\cygwin\bin > > > > bash --login -i -c 'rsync -avz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/funnel/Jan* > /cygdrive/e/Earchives' > > Save & Exit. > Now you need only to double-click in your .bat file and insert your > password if required. > > Instead, if you want to create a script to run in cygwin environment, > follow the Eric post. > > ...my 2 cents... > > Regards > M > > -- > 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/ > > -- 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/
