Scheduled processes

Scheduled processes

[Jeff Utz]

I am running cygwin under WinNT and Win2000. Is there any way to call cygwin
and start a particular process?

What I wish to do is check out stuff from a cvs repository on a regular
basis to update the directories on my computer.

Thanks.

Jeff

If you want to do this under Cygwin, look at the cron package.

Actually, I did not specify the question correctly. What I want to is have
the cygwin start a specific process.

I think all I need to do is start bash with the --rcfile <filename option>
and I can call my stuff from there.

Thanks for you rapid response. Although it did not answer my question, it
did get me going on the right path.

That's one of the very things that cron is used for! Think of cron as 
the Task Scheduler for Unix ergo Cygwin.
