Although I've found many issues related to "mount" I've yet to find the answer to my current problem. So, I hope I can find the answer from my posting now.
Anyway, I would like to copy the software installer exe file to a n ftproot folder on another windows machine as part of software build process for download. The build process itself is automated in a perl script under cygwin environment called by batch file executed as Windows Scheduled Task. It's executed in batch file like this: c:\tools\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c 'source /temp/machenv;time c:/scripts/batch/NightlyBuild/build.pl' > logs/bld.log 2>&1 I've made sure that I mapped the ftproot folder as UNC path using the local administrator of the ftp hosting machine first: net use \\<Machine_Name>\C$\Inetpub\ftproot <password> /user:administrator /persistent:yes and in cygwin bash shell I did this: mount \\\\<Machine_Name>\\C$\\Inetpub\\ftproot /ftproot -s -E All are fine. However, the test for existence of this folder /ftproot fails, thus the copy does not work in the build script as executed by batch file in Scheduled Task. However, if I launch Windows shell and run the batch file, the build script works and the copy is successful. I created a new scheduled task to execute simple batch file which calls a perl script to debug/find out about the "mount" command in cygwin. This mount point /ftproot is still available but the script issuing "cd /ftproot" and "ls" both fail. cd: can't cd to /ftproot ls: /ftproot: No such file or directory However, again running it in Windows shell the "cd /ftproot" and "ls" work. Is the issue with the bash, or the Windows Scheduled Task or some issue with mounting UNC share? Thanks. -Indra __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
