However, I was hoping to avoid writing a 2 line bat files to invoke my cygwin scripts as a scheduled task (since I'm making lots scheduled tasks).
I was hoping this would work:
Unfortunately, bash seems to be ignoring my attempts to redirect stdout and stderr.
I've tried both single and double "greater than" signs to make it write to test.log and nothing seems to work. The task runs OK: I just cannot get it to make a log file for me.
The alternative, of course, is to specify the file name of a two line bat for the SCHTASKS/CREATE command and inside that silly two line at file, call c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe. This works, but then I have to manage these two line bat files.
I have a file contains
TASK gsnmpproxy {
CommandLine = $SMCHOME/bin/gsnmpProxy.exe
}
TASK gsnmpdbgui {
CommandLine = $SMCHOME/bin/gsnmpdbgui.exe
I would like to comment and than uncomment specific task eg TASK gsnmpproxy
Pls suggest how to do in shell script (9 Replies)
