help cron cygwin

[Christian Lanconelli (servizio)]

Hi,

CRON can run commands wrote in fortran containing the call system()
statement?
this is my program : trasf_DOS.f
It write a DOS batch file that is immediately run by the 'call system
("copio.bat")' statement-
It WORK WELL in the bash shell (cygwin because I use the DOS commands xcopy)
but can't run as a cron scheduled job.
Both trasf_DOS.exe, and copio.bat, are in the $PATH.

1) IT WORKS NORMALLY:
Administrator@ragas /cygdrive/c/cvi/ICARO/dati
$ ./trasf_DOS.exe  <Carriage Return>

sab 07/01/2006
 Prima della trasformazione: 7 1 2006
 Dopo la trasformazione: 6 1 6
 === Copio i file lanciando il batch appena creato ===
c:\cvi\ICARO\dati>xcopy c:\cvi\ICARO\dati\??060106.*  \\pc27\CO2_O3\ /D /F
/Z
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\DD060106.GAS -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\DD060106.GAS
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\DD060106.MET -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\DD060106.MET
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\DD060106.RAD -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\DD060106.RAD
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\MN060106.DEU -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\MN060106.DEU
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\MN060106.GAS -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\MN060106.GAS
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\MN060106.MET -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\MN060106.MET
C:\cvi\ICARO\dati\MN060106.RAD -> \\pc27\CO2_O3\MN060106.RAD
7 File copiati

(end of trasf_DOS.exe)

2) IT IS IN THE PATH
Administrator@ragas /cygdrive/c/cvi/ICARO/dati
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygd
rive
/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/VXIPNP/WinNT/Bin:/cygdrive/c/cvi/icaro/dati

3) Here are the crontab -l output:
Administrator@ragas /cygdrive/c/cvi/ICARO/dati
$ crontab -l
40 * * * * trasf_DOS.exe;echo "tab eseguito alle
$(date)">/home/Administrator/cronlog

The file "cronlog" is regularly updated. But trasf_DOS appears not work!

Can you help me? What's my error?

Bye Bye
