Thanks. I did look at the FAQ s'. I haven't seen any of these specifics.
I'm trying to scp files through cygwin cron (running on windows 2000) to
Linux(redhat 72 kernal 2.4.7-10). And I'm running linux on pIII.
The open_ssh version on Linux is OpenSSH_2.9p2. And I run sshd on linux on
ports 9989 through 9999 (i'm not using the default port 22). The version on
Cygwin is OpenSSH_3.4p1. I don't think the problem is with ssh/scp. Because
it works fine on cygwin, and I'm able to scp files without giving
passphrases (but using dsa public/private keys). But scp itself is not
working through cygwin cron.
I have done the following to install and start:
$cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
$cygrunsrv -S cron
Did the following on permission:
$ chmod 1777 /var/cron
$ chmod 1777 /var/cron/tabs
Cron is running : (see below)
$ ps -ef|grep cron
SYSTEM 536 1336 ? 10:24:55 /usr/sbin/cron
Attaching the output for cygcheck -r -s -v
Please let me know if you need anything more.
Thanks,
Smithesh.

I'm afraid that what you've provided only tells us what you're
doing and how you're doing it. Unfortunately, we don't know anything
else about your system or your setup. Make sure you've reviewed the
email archives for cron issues and resolutions and that you've reviewed
the cron and login READMEs (at least) as well as the user guide
(particularly
the stuff on permissions if you're running NT/W2K/XP). Oh, and a review of
the FAQ may be worthwhile as well. You never know what tid-bits are lurking
in the answers to even seemingly unrelated questions. If you don't find
something useful in all that which resolves your problem, please provide
the output of cygcheck -s -r -v as an attachment as well as the steps you
took to configure cron to the list. Someone may be able to spot your
problem given that.
Good luck,
Larry

Subject: cygwin cron
Hi ,
I'm trying to scp (without pass phrases) using dsa on cygwin cron.
scp works fine, but not within cron.
this is what I'm doing -
crontab -e
00 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/admin/perl/test.pl >> /tmp/test.txt
and this is what test.pl has:
#!/usr/bin/perl
system('scp -P 9989 -oProtocol=2 -r /cygdrive/b/IN
smithesh@172.26.20.34:tmp/.');
When I run test.pl by itself on cygwin command line, it works (meaning
it does the scp), but not within cron.
Also tried putting scp stmt itself within cron and didn't work either.
I also tried removing, installing, stopping and starting cron using
cygrunsrv. cron in general works, but is not doing the above scp stuff.
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong.. Help..
Thanks,
Smithesh.

Smithesh,
The fact that scp works for you from the command line doesn't necessarily
mean it will work from cron. Ssh and scp look in $HOME/.ssh for public
keys. Cron runs as SYSTEM, with a blank (or default) environment. Even
if you set the effective uid to you (which you actually may not be doing,
from what I could see), scp will not know where to look for the public
keys if $HOME is not set to your home directory, and therefore will not
try to authenticate you. Please make sure that 1) cron switches to your
uid, and 2) your $HOME is set correctly. You can do that by scheduling an
appropriate shell script to run through cron. If this is indeed your
problem, you could define the appropriate environment before running scp
in your perl script (or a shell script).

Running as the desired user should be enough

True. However,
$ man ssh
[snip]
FILES
$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
[snip]
$HOME/.ssh/identity, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa, $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
[snip]
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[snip]
$HOME/.ssh/config
[snip]
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
[snip]
$HOME/.shosts
[snip]
$HOME/.ssh/rc
[snip]
$HOME/.ssh/environment
[snip]
$
I guess the manpage needs to be updated...

Igor,
Thanks. $UID was empty and I set $UID to admin uid. $HOME was good.
But still no luck with cron.
Instead of using cron, for the current purpose, simulated the same behavior
within the perl script, just by sleeping for an hour or so, and then invoking
scp. It works okay, and for now this is good enough.
Thanks again for your help.
Smithesh.

Yes. My powers of psychic remote debugging tell me that the problem is
that mistake you've made on line 3 of the crontab. Your powers of
mindreading ought to be enough to tell you which one I'm thinking of!

Or you could give the advice at this URL ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ a go and try

From /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README:
3.0.1-5:
--------
Crontab now changes group membership to be SYSTEM on the crontab
files and sets the permissions to 640. That should allow cron
to work immediately with the crontab files created by crontab.
Note that this requires that /etc/group has been created and
contains the default SYSTEM entry, gid 18. DON'T CHANGE THAT!
So, you might check both the ownership and permissions of your
/var/cron/tab/<userid> file. 'SYSTEM' should be the group membership,
and it should have read permission. Also, of course, SYSTEM needs to be
listed in your /etc/group file with the gid value '18'.
Also, instead of running a perl script, start with a simple 'date'
command so that you're debugging 'cron' instead of debugging 'cron' and
your perl environment, i.e., try a cron entry such as:
* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/dateit.txt
If you can get that to work, then you can address the perl script
problem separately.

I'm afraid that what you've provided only tells us what you're
doing and how you're doing it. Unfortunately, we don't know anything
else about your system or your setup. Make sure you've reviewed the
email archives for cron issues and resolutions and that you've reviewed
the cron and login READMEs (at least) as well as the user guide
(particularly
the stuff on permissions if you're running NT/W2K/XP). Oh, and a review of
the FAQ may be worthwhile as well. You never know what tid-bits are lurking
in the answers to even seemingly unrelated questions. If you don't find
something useful in all that which resolves your problem, please provide
the output of cygcheck -s -r -v as an attachment as well as the steps you
took to configure cron to the list. Someone may be able to spot your
problem given that.
Good luck,
Larry

Hi ,
I'm trying to scp (without pass phrases) using dsa on cygwin cron.
scp works fine, but not within cron.
this is what I'm doing -
crontab -e
00 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/admin/perl/test.pl >> /tmp/test.txt
and this is what test.pl has:
#!/usr/bin/perl
system('scp -P 9989 -oProtocol=2 -r /cygdrive/b/IN
smithesh@172.26.20.34:tmp/.');
When I run test.pl by itself on cygwin command line, it works (meaning
it does the scp), but not within cron.
Also tried putting scp stmt itself within cron and didn't work either.
I also tried removing, installing, stopping and starting cron using
cygrunsrv. cron in general works, but is not doing the above scp stuff.
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong.. Help..
Thanks,
Smithesh.
