I need to do something like this in a shell script that cron runs: IPADDR=3D`cat //host/share/directory/file.txt' This works fine when I run the script at the bash prompt but when run from cron it does nothing. How do I get this to work under cron? ======================== Mike Campbell Oracle Technical Support mike.campbell@oracle.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
