I've setup cron on nt40 using cygwin 1.3.9. Cron setup as a service no problem, using ntsec, made my passwd & group files. I created the crontab while using the id that I wanted the process to inherit from. Cron is scheduled to run a perl script every 10 minutes (and it does). I checked the uid of the pid and it shows the correct uid. I get a permissions error on opening and writing to a file. This error does not occur when I run the script from a bash shell (also using ntsec). no mapped drives.
What other things do I need to check. if i wanted to test using the ntschedular on the same perl script (perl that comes with the cygwin distribution), would i code it: c:\bin\bash -c "perl c:\....." ? another question. could I set that perl script to run as a service ? could I use cygrunsrv ? Thanks for any and all help. PS. when I look in the task manager why do I see cygrunsrv running in addition to cron ? am not running cygrunsrv in bash shell ? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
