What do you mean by 'does not see'. How do you know ?

RE: cygwin mounts not detected by cronjob

 Hello,
 
 Please suggest a solution to the issue of the cygwin mounts not being
visible to
 the cronjobs.
 
  echo 'D:/Program\040Files/International\0407.0 /usr/local/bin ntfs binary
0 0'
  /etc/fstab I have performed above mount and cron does not see this
entry, please advise?

I am not sure when edits to /etc/fstab become active. Is it shown by mount?
Also is D a local disk or a network drive? If the latter, use the
//machine/share format
as the letter drives need not be the same under Cron.
Note that if it's a network drive you may also have access issues that can
be fixed by
running cron as yourself or by using advanced authentication methods,
see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron-.README

Pierre

And why write to fstab when you could just mount it when you need it ?
