For example to run a sh script: --Begin P.vbs-- Dim objShell, intErr Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") intErr = objShell.Run("C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe /c/somePath/P.sh", 0, True) Wscript.Quit(intErr) --End P.vbs-- and schedule it as "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WSCRIPT.EXE //b c:\somePath\P.vbs" under the task scheduler. -- Stephen Powell stephen_powell@optusnet.com.au -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
