Cygwin .sh file run as Windows Task Scheduler
cygwin, shell, windows
Solution
I figured it out.
In the Windows Task Scheduler, I had to pass:
Program/script: C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe
Add arguments: -c -l test.sh
Start in: C:\cygwin64\bin
Problem
Having issues getting this shell script to run in windows task scheduler. ``` #!/bin/bash # Script to ping the VPN server for testing RESULT=$(ping 192.168.1.252 | grep "Lost" | awk {' print $10 '}) LOG=/home/admin/results.txt if [ "$RESULT" -gt 0 ];then echo "VPN 192.168.1.252 NOT pinging" >> $LOG else echo "VPN Online" fi ``` When I run it in cygwin, it runs with no issue, but when I attempt to run it from command prompt, I get the following: C:\cygwin64\bin>bash test.sh test.sh: line 4: grep: command not found test.sh: line 4: awk: command not found test.sh: line 7: [: : integer expression expected My question is, how do I get it to run with bash instead so that it actually knows the grep and awk commands? In Windows Scheduler, I have Action: Start A Program Details: C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe Argument: test.sh Start in: C:\cygwin64\bin Am I missing something?
