It does this by reading from a config file (surprise) consisting of mount, threshold, threshold. One would expect a "read -r fs t2 t3" to process this without attempting to expand slashes. But I can't seem to get this bit working... And I can't seem to find any doco on doing that in Cygwin. The files I am using are tagged on the and in the hope that someone can help me work this out. Sorry, but the mailservers blocks them otherwise :( No doubt I have missed something rather obvious. Any assistance greatly appreciated!
