I have a server running Windows Server 2003 Std Edition w/ SP2 and for whatever reason I cannot get CRON to execute my expect scripts. If I run them manually they run just fine. Another co-worker has some perl scripts that kick off without any issues, can someone tell me why Cygwin won't execute them. I'm including a copy of crontab below, Thanks! $ crontab -l # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.2Y63xGCfwf installed on Wed Aug 29 13:58:48 2007) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) #* * * * * /bin/date.exe >> /cygdrive/e/Downloads/out.txt #* * * * * /bin/date.exe >> /home/Administrator/file.txt 0 * * * * /bin/perl.exe /home/Administrator/scripts/get-switchportnamesv2.pl 0 * * * * /bin/perl.exe /home/Administrator/scripts/regenswitchcfgs.pl 30 6 * * * /bin/perl.exe /home/Administrator/scripts/backupmrtg.pl 59 13 * * * /bin/expect.exe /home/Administrator/scripts/getCOREFWSMcfgs 59 13 * * * /home/Administrator/scripts/getASAcfgs 35 3 * * * /home/Administrator/scripts/getCOREcfgs 40 3 * * * /home/Administrator/scripts/getDISTcfgs 45 3 * * * /home/Administrator/scripts/getNCcfgs 50 3 * * * /home/Administrator/scripts/getPOEcfgs 55 3 * * * /home/Administrator/scripts/getVOIPcfgs 15 4 * * * /bin/perl.exe /home/Administrator/scripts/backup-rtr-sw-cfgs.pl 30 5 * * * /bin/perl.exe /home/Administrator/scripts/rtr-sw-cfg-2-dirs.pl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Crontab-runs-fine-in-cmd-line-not-via-CRON-for-expect-scripts-tf4351639.html#a12399572 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
