Terry, I believe the tar command can run in the command prompt also and it doesn't need to run in the bash shell. Also I think the system command (in Perl) uses a bash shell to execute your command.
If there is a cygwin has a cron function you will need to create a crontab file Example: # minutes (0-59) # hour (0-23) # day of the month (1-31) # day of the week (0-6, 0=Sunday) # # # Example 1: Cleaning up core files # This example cleans up core files every weekday morning # at 3:15 am: 15 3 * * 1-5 find $HOME -name core 2>/dev/null | xargs rm -f # Example 2: Mailing a birthday greeting 0 12 14 2 * mailx john%Happy Birthday!%Time for lunch. # Example 3: Specifying days of the month and week # This example # 0 0 1,15 * 1 # would run a command on the first and fifteenth of # each month, as well as on every Monday. # To specify days by only one field, the other field should # be set to *. For example: # 0 0 * * 1 # would run a command only on Mondays.
