RE: scheduling jobs

["Karen McLaughlin" <k dot mclaughlin at umassp dot edu>]

i think i used the wrong term when i said window ...
bash is working ... i can use a dos window --- and get in --- not a 
problem there --
i dont know where system path on nt is done -- since dos does seem to know
about bash --- i think this has been done (i can look this one up in nt
help)

i guess what i am asking is can i use the nt at command to schedule the
bash script ...

what i did is made a .bat file --- in that file it says
<path to cygwin bin>bash -c <full path to bash script>

i just tried running the bat manually to see if it ran my bash script ---
figured if it did that i would then use at to schedule it ...

so do i want/need cron or is the above scenario ok???

I think i tried either bash -i --login or both and i believe what happened
then is that it got into bash --- and then didnt know what to do ... i will
double check that and let you know for sure but i know i tried various ways
to try to get these two talking

so dos does talk to my cygwin --- sorry for the misunderstanding --- the
question is more what do i use to schedule --- and do i need to run cron as
a service or somethin as a service if i do use cron ...

the cygwin icon is on the start menu --- i cant verify the desktop right
now but i will guess yes -- can verify later ... and yes if i click it it
launches a dos window and puts me in cygwin (bash) shell ...

thanks for your time and help ....
