Greetings all I have run this set of commands directly from the cygwin
command line.
du -ks //comp/shares/

Ouput1: is correct
49939594	//comp/shares/

<snip>


The bat. file that schedules the bash script looks like this.  The
scheduled task runs at night and it works , it just outputs the wrong
number.
@echo off
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "/home/rod/Shop-fs2.sh"

Output2: when script runs from scheduled tasks ; It just gives a 4,
when the output is way more then 4.
4	//s550-shop/shares/replica/Administration

Yep. This is an age-old issue that really has to do with Windows permissions for services. The default user for services doesn't have permission to access network shares, even if you do. One option is to run the service as you. There are others. Read

and the following sections for more background, details, and possible
options.
