Greetings all I have run this set of commands directly from the cygwin command line. du -ks //comp/shares/
Ouput1: is correct 49939594 //comp/shares/ When I put the script in a bash script(file1.sh) and run from cygwin command line, it works fine also(output1 is generated), it is only when the file runs as a schedule task that if gives the wrong ouput(output2) For clarity sake here is what the file looks like. #!/usr/bin/bash OUT=/cygdrive/c/logs echo `date` >> $OUT/size-new.txt du -ks //comp/shares/ >> $OUT/size-new.txt The bat. file that schedules the bash script looks like this. The scheduled task runs at night and it works , it just outputs the wrong number. @echo off C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "/home/rod/Shop-fs2.sh" Output2: when script runs from scheduled tasks ; It just gives a 4, when the output is way more then 4. 4 //s550-shop/shares/replica/Administration I am running win xp, sp3. And I am really confused. Why would script generate proper output when it is run from command line and not when run from scheduled tasks.
