Although I've found many issues related to "mount"
I've yet to find the answer to my current problem.
So, I hope I can find the answer from my posting now.
Anyway, I would like to copy the software installer
exe file to a n ftproot folder on another windows
machine as part of software build process for
download. The build process itself is automated in a
perl script under cygwin environment called by batch
file executed as Windows Scheduled Task.
It's executed in batch file like this:
c:\tools\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c 'source
/temp/machenv;time
c:/scripts/batch/NightlyBuild/build.pl' > logs/bld.log
2>&1
I've made sure that I mapped the ftproot folder as UNC
path using the local administrator of the ftp hosting
machine first:
net use \\<Machine_Name>\C$\Inetpub\ftproot <password>
/user:administrator /persistent:yes
and in cygwin bash shell I did this:
mount \\\\<Machine_Name>\\C$\\Inetpub\\ftproot
/ftproot -s -E
All are fine. However, the test for existence of this
folder /ftproot fails, thus the copy does not work in
the build script as executed by batch file in
Scheduled Task.
However, if I launch Windows shell and run the batch
file, the build script works and the copy is
successful.
I created a new scheduled task to execute simple batch
file which calls a perl script to debug/find out
about the "mount" command in cygwin. This mount point
/ftproot is still available but the script issuing "cd
/ftproot" and "ls" both fail.
cd: can't cd to /ftproot
ls: /ftproot: No such file or directory
However, again running it in Windows shell the "cd
/ftproot" and "ls" work.
Is the issue with the bash, or the Windows Scheduled
Task or some issue with mounting UNC share?
Thanks.
