I wrote a Bash/ Perl backup/ archive/ shutdown solution for my Windows/ Cygwin and GNU/ Linux SOHO network. I light it off from my primary Windows desktop via a Windows shortcut that points to a Windows batch file that runs a Bash script that runs Perl scripts which do the work. The batch file runs on Windows and will pass along up to nine command line arguments. The Bash script runs on Cygwin and GNU/Linux and passes along an unlimited number of command-line arguments. Here are the Windows batch file and Bash script: 2009-08-28 21:11:01 dpchr...@dc86yxb1 ~/Dpchrist-Shutdown/example $ cat shutdown-soho.bat C:\cygwin\bin\bash U:\Dpchrist-Shutdown\example\shutdown-soho %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 2009-08-28 21:15:48 dpchr...@dc86yxb1 ~/Dpchrist-Shutdown/example $ cat shutdown-soho | egrep '^(#\!|/)' #! /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/dcshutdown --use_at --use_sudo $* dpchr...@p3450 dpchr...@p3600 /usr/bin/dcshutdown $* administra...@a64x23800p administra...@p31000 administra...@p3800 administra...@dc86yxb1 /usr/bin/dcshutdown --shutdown_delay=0 --ssh_opts='-p 222' $* r...@ipcop /usr/bin/dcshutdown $* localhost HTH, David -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
