- Subject: RE: scheduling jobs
i think i used the wrong term when i said window ...
bash is working ... i can use a dos window --- and get in --- not a
problem there --
i dont know where system path on nt is done -- since dos does seem to know
about bash --- i think this has been done (i can look this one up in nt
help)
i guess what i am asking is can i use the nt at command to schedule the
bash script ...
what i did is made a .bat file --- in that file it says
<path to cygwin bin>bash -c <full path to bash script>
i just tried running the bat manually to see if it ran my bash script ---
figured if it did that i would then use at to schedule it ...
so do i want/need cron or is the above scenario ok???
I think i tried either bash -i --login or both and i believe what happened
then is that it got into bash --- and then didnt know what to do ... i will
double check that and let you know for sure but i know i tried various ways
to try to get these two talking
so dos does talk to my cygwin --- sorry for the misunderstanding --- the
question is more what do i use to schedule --- and do i need to run cron as
a service or somethin as a service if i do use cron ...
the cygwin icon is on the start menu --- i cant verify the desktop right
now but i will guess yes -- can verify later ... and yes if i click it it
launches a dos window and puts me in cygwin (bash) shell ...
thanks for your time and help ....
