I've got cron up and running fine on my win2k system with the exception 
that I don't have access to network drives via UNC format.

I need to do something like this in a shell script that cron runs:

IPADDR=3D`cat //host/share/directory/file.txt'

This works fine when I run the script at the bash prompt but when run 
from cron it does nothing.

How do I get this to work under cron?
