Just out of curiosity, why not use the cygwin shutdown command ? (or at
least check if it works ;)

Subject: strange error message when running SHUTDOWN.EXE as root
(administrator)
When I run /winnt/NTRESKIT/SHUTDOWN.EXE as root (Local and
Domain Administrator) I get the following error
11:51:04 marcos AT laud~ ssh mozart -l root
root AT mozart's password:
Last login: Wed Nov 6 11:49:45 2002 from laud.it.uc3m.es
Wow! Yeah! this is really a Windows NT 4.0 Cygwin Server
11:51:11 root AT MOZART~ /winnt/NTRESKIT/SHUTDOWN.EXE \\\\it002 /C /R /T:600
"hi, just a test"
Shutdown:\\it002
AdjustTokenPrivileges enable failed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
11:51:17 root AT MOZART~ logout
Connection to mozart closed.
And when I run it as marcos (user belonging to domain administrators) it
executes succesfully:
11:51:18 marcos AT laud~ ssh mozart
marcos AT mozart's password:
Last login: Wed Nov 6 11:49:01 2002 from laud.it.uc3m.es
Wow! Yeah! this is really a Windows NT 4.0 Cygwin Server
11:51:31 marcos AT MOZART~ /winnt/NTRESKIT/SHUTDOWN.EXE \\\\it002 /C /R
/T:600 "hi, just a test"
Shutdown:\\it002
11:51:40 marcos AT MOZART~ /winnt/NTRESKIT/SHUTDOWN.EXE \\\\it002 /A
Shutdown:\\it002
STOP
Any idea? differrence between users is very little, just the fact that
Administrator (root for cygwin) is a builtin account and marcos is created
manually by Administrator.
I need this for a script that I wrote recently. It reboots specified
computers within the domain f the server where the script is run. I want
to run this from cron. It runs perfectly apart from the error of
SHUTDOWN.EXE, that is critical for total script functionality. If any of
you want this script ask for it and I will e-mail it to you.
One more question: Does cron set the $USER variable when running crontabs?
I believe it doesn't for I get the following when running the crontab:
12:03:24 root AT MOZART~ crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.324 installed on Wed Nov 6 11:44:14 2002)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.6 2001/09/19 17:09:55 corinna Exp $)
PATH=/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
# MIN HOUR DAY MONTH DAYOFWEEK COMMAND
# every minute touch a timestamp file in /tmp so I know crond is running
* * * * * touch /tmp/crond.running
# update file database every 2 days

# reboot every midnight the DIT domain
0 0 * * * shutdown_dit
### testing section ###
# check user settings and other stuff
* * * * * { echo -e "USER: $USER\nID: `id`" | tee
/tmp/root.debug ; } | mail -s "prueba desde mozart" marcos AT it DOT uc3m DOT es
12:03:25 root AT MOZART~ cat /tmp/root.debug
USER:
ID: uid=500(root) gid=512(domadmin)
groups=0(everyone),513(domusers),544(admin),512(domadmin),545(users)
I get $USER = "". Is this normal? I mean It doesn't bother me, but if it's
a misconfiguration, then maybe my two questions are related.
Thanks in advance,
