I'm a little confused as to what your difficulty was - you can pass a shell command to cygwin when invoking it; which thus makes it quite possible to simply batch automate cygwin tasks from the win32 environment. I've run a few test rsync backups from a Win2K Pro environment that way myself. -J -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
