Hi all -
I recently got cron set up on my Win2K box. What a treat not to have to
use Windows' built in scheduler! Given that cron runs as SYSTEM, what
I'm wondering is this: Is there any way to get cron to see my network
shares? Specifically, I'm tar/gzipping my Cygwin home dir and want to
copy the tarball to a directory on my LAN (Novell share) for which my
account for which my logged-in account is the only trustee. When I run
a script that tries to map it with "net use", I get an error that
implies a permissions issue. I'm not likely to be able to convince the
network folks to change permissions to add my local SYSTEM acct to this
share, so I wonder if there's some way to do it with, say, an SUID perl
script or something. I briefly tried creating one, but not being super
familiar with suid, I'm having no luck. Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks!
