Hi, I have a problem getting a find command which works fine on the command line to work when run via cron.
The command is: 4 10 * * 1-5 find /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs -type f -name stdout.log\.* -mtime +2 > /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4/Bridge/DataFeed/deploy/bin/testfind.log This produces an empty "testfind.log" file but when run from the command line I get: $ find /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs -type f -n ame stdout.log\.* -mtime +2 /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs/stdout.log.03Nov20 06 /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs/stdout.log.06Nov20 06 /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs/stdout.log.07Nov20 06 /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs/stdout.log.08Nov20 06 /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs/stdout.log.09Nov20 06 /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs/stdout.log.10Nov20 06 ...as expected. I have read the thread http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00905.html and scaned google, mailing lists etc but don't see anything of use. I also tried making sure the user can see the directory from cron by making a more simple "ls" job... 14 10 * * 1-5 ls /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4//Bridge/DataFeed/deploy//quotefeed/logs > /cygdrive/d/Apps_v8p4/Bridge/DataFeed/deploy/bin/lstestfind.log This produces the expected list in the output file: quotefeed.log quotefeed.log.1 quotefeed.log.10 quotefeed.log.11 quotefeed.log.12 quotefeed.log.13 quotefeed.log.14 quotefeed.log.15 quotefeed.log.16 quotefeed.log.17 quotefeed.log.18 quotefeed.log.19 quotefeed.log.2 quotefeed.log.20 quotefeed.log.3 quotefeed.log.4 quotefeed.log.5 quotefeed.log.6 quotefeed.log.7 quotefeed.log.8 quotefeed.log.9 stdout.log stdout.log.03Nov2006 stdout.log.06Nov2006 stdout.log.07Nov2006 stdout.log.08Nov2006 stdout.log.09Nov2006 stdout.log.10Nov2006 stdout.log.13Nov2006 stdout.log.14Nov2006 So - it seems it can see the directory, but for some reason the find command isn't happy... any ideas? Have attached the cygcheck file as suggested.
