If you do it right then there's very little tweaking necessary. I just 
wrote a daemon script in Perl to execute commands a machine and report 
back to results using a socket, multithreaded, etc. Wrote it on Linux. 
Then hopped over to my Cygwin instance, cvs checked it out and ran it 
without a single change - worked like a champ - first time through.

That say (and as you can see I'm quite proud of it and semi surprised) a 
list discussing administration of Windows machines using Cygwin, 
portability issues and how to write useful scripts and the like would be 
a good addition to the mailing lists.

An error? Impossible! My modem is error correcting.
