Greetings to the Cygwin list forum, I have had some difficulty finding a place to post this question and I hope this is it. I have a cygwin bash script that runs rsync and makes some entries in the rsync log files. Here is an example. echo " " >> F:/_Data_Volume_Backup/rsync_log/01_Data_Level_log.txt echo " " >> F:/_Data_Volume_Backup/rsync_log/01_Data_Level_log.txt echo "***** new log entry *****" >> F:/_Data_Volume_Backup/rsync_log/01_Data_Level_log.txt date >> F:/_Data_Volume_Backup/rsync_log/01_Data_Level_log.txt rsync -v -a -r -p -b --suffix=.back -E -t --log-file=/cygdrive/f/_Data_Volume_Backup/rsync_log/01_Data_Level_log.txt /cygdrive/d/_Data_Level/ /cygdrive/f/_Data_Volume_Backup/_Data_Level/ unix2dos F:/_Data_Volume_Backup/rsync_log/01_Data_Level_log.txt This script just puts a couple of newline characters between log entries and then sticks in the date. Then rsync is called and last unix2dos is called to make the logfile readable in notepad. I call this script from a desktop shortcut with the following properties. Target: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe /usr/local/bin/DLBackup.sh Start in: C:\cygwin\bin I have run this script for a long time on another computer, but when I just set it up on a different computer, the bash terminal opens briefly, displays some messages that are almost too fast to read, and then closes. The log files have entries for "***** new log entry *****", so the script is getting that far, but the error message "date: command not found" and "rsync: command not found" are written to the shell. If I run the script from the shell, it runs normally and I get the anticipated results. Can anyone tell me why this is not working, especially since it works on another computer with the same setup?
