If you are working with Windows servers then you should find Windows based solutions. I had to write scripts for Windows 2000 servers and I used Cygwin and Bash, but I put everything into a .bat file making sure to add the C:\Cygwin64\bin or C:\Cygwin\bin directory to my path statement. I can then write a regular .bat script, but use Cygwin tools like rsync and gzip. When you are testing and running the scripts you need to run them from the command prompt otherwise you won't see the output. You should also increase the number of rows buffered on the screen so that you can see more output.

I was talking to another developer about scripting and Windows who said that Powershell on Windows servers have all of the Unix tools, plus the .NET programming stuff. So you may want to look into Powershell. I tried looking at it, but it didn't seem accessable to me, but I have spent most of my career trying to avoid working with Windows servers. Apparently many former Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) programmers went to Microsoft after the demise of DEC and helped to build Powershell to be more Unix like. I don't know if that is true or not.

DESCRIPTION

       When clicking on the icon, a list of data miners is presented. In this list there is an image to the left which	indicates  the	paused	or

       Each miner can be paused/resumed by clicking on it in the menu.

       From  the  context menu, tracker-status-icon allows the user to configure the preferences of tracker-miner-fs using the tracker-preferences
       application.
