I can run the script as it is but when i launch it using cron it doesn't work. The script is in a samba share. crontab -e ------------ 13 10 * * * (/mnt/user/test/sw/cron.run | /usr/bin/email -s cron_test raviram@streamprocessors.com) Cron works if i remove the cron.run and use something like the one shown below 13 10 * * * ( date | /usr/bin/email -s cron_test raviram@streamprocessors.com) I started cron as me using /bin/cron-config. I also tried using the cygrunserver -E -R and -I -S options. I mounted the /mnt/user partition using mount -X ... cron.run ---------- #!/usr/bin/csh #(cd /cygdrive/u/p4_main/test/sw; make ncheck) (cd /mnt/user/test/sw; rm -f cron.test; /usr/bin/date; touch cron.test) I would appreciate any pointers, help.
