Re: cron doesnt run jobs (sometimes)!

Hi there list!

1st off .im new to cygwin.

i have built some scripts to do tape backups
basically a find, then a cpio, then tar it to tape.

it runs from the command line.

it doesnt run from crontab, although from event viewer i see that cron ran.

also i put another line in crontab to run ls -l >> /usr/tmp/test every
minute.
this works just fine!.

ive lightly tapped all my scripts with chmod 777 still doesnt work!

not the script! the data must be readable for SYSTEM.


btw its a win2k server (dc)


any ideas?

check if it runs under okay in a "sysbash" shell. must be the permissions.


search the ml archives for "sysbash". still not a package
or run manually:
> at <soon> /interactive bash --login -i
