- Subject: cron and copying files across drives: how?
I am having a problem running a simple bash script with cron. The script
executes and behaves as expected when run from the command line, but
when run by cron, it fails to execute some commands.
I narrowed the problem down and found out that cron fails to copy files
between drives; for example, the following does not work
* * * * * cp /cygdrive/c/Andrea/try.png /cygdrive/z/try.png
I should mention that the z drive is a network drive. And yes, a simple
script containing that command does execute correctly from the prompt.
Thanks in advance
