Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi ,
I'm trying to scp (without pass phrases) using dsa on cygwin cron.
scp works fine, but not within cron.

this is what I'm doing -

crontab -e

00 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/admin/perl/test.pl  >>  /tmp/test.txt

and this is what test.pl has:

#!/usr/bin/perl

system('scp -P 9989 -oProtocol=2 -r /cygdrive/b/IN
smithesh AT 172 DOT 26 DOT 20 DOT 34:tmp/.');

When I run test.pl by itself on cygwin command line, it works (meaning
it does the scp),  but not within cron.

Also tried putting scp stmt itself within cron and didn't work either.
I also tried removing, installing, stopping and starting cron using
cygrunsrv.  cron in general works, but is not doing the above scp stuff.
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong..  Help..
Thanks,
Smithesh.
