/cygdrive/f/ missing when my script is executed by cron

/cygdrive/f/ missing when my script is executed by cron

[Stéphane Klein]

Hi,

I try to configure rsync on MS Windows to execute a folder 
synchronization every day.

I use this tools :

* I've installed cygwin
* I've use cygwin setup.exe to install rsync, openssh, cron

Next, in cygwin terminal, I did :

* I've created a ssh key and I've set it up on remote server
* next, I've wrote a bash script which execute rsync. Note : my source 
data are in "f:" device, meaning it's in "/cygdrive/f/" path (from 
cygwin terminal)
* I've tested my bash script, it works very well, all files are copied 
to remote host
* I've used cron-config to configure cron service
* I've append my bash script in cron configuration with crontab -e
* My bash script is executed by cron, I see it with cronevents

But, I've have an issue : when my bash script is executed by cron, it 
hasn't access to /cygdrive/f/, this device isn't mounted !

Do you have already had this problem ?

I've very few cygwin experience, I don't know where to dig.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Stephane

Remote shares are mounted on a per user-session basis.  Cron as a
service is not running in your desktop user-session.  If you want
to access remote shares in your cron session, you have to mount them
explicitely in your cron job.

Thanks.

Do you have command example or document reference about this command 
(mount remote shares from my bash script) ?

Thanks for your help.
