Detert" To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: trouble running commands non-interactively (e.g. via ssh, cron, at) Message-ID: <20020214155934.GR12743@carlisle.msoe.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.25i Hello, I've got DLL version 1.3.6 installed on NT 4.0 SP6. I'm trying to create/delete user accounts in the domain that the cygwin box is in. If I (interactively) login into the cygwin box via ssh, I can successfully run the "NT Resource Kit" addusers command and the Ms. Exchange "admin.exe" command to create/delete accounts. However, If I try to run either of those commands non-interactively via ssh, they don't work. The commands return with no effect. At first, I thought the problem was something peculiar about the addusers and admin commands. So, I wrote perl programs to manage the accounts. However, the same problem applies to the perl programs - they work fine when run from an interactive login-shell, but not when run non-interactively from ssh. The same problem occurrs when I try to schedule programs via cron or at - the scheduled programs fail (i don't even know if they run - there's no log anywhere that I can find; I just know they don't do what they were intended to do). Any ideas? AtDhVaAnNkCsE -- Happy Landings, Jon Detert Unix System Administrator, Milwaukee School of Engineering 1025 N.
