Re: cron + network share(w/ full access?)

[Alan London <alondon7 at yahoo dot ca>]

Oh?  This works for you?  I can't seem to get this to
work... it seems
SYSTEM doesn't have the right access to network shares
via UNC paths.
(That was the whole reason for the lengthy discussion
that I linked to
in my message below:
  
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg01001.html)

Anyways, I've given up and used Windows' own Task
Scheduler for jobs
which need network access.
