Re: some kind of path problem when running bash script from windows shortcut
Thanks, that would be interesting to learn how to do. I guess I would need to learn what files need to be backed up and how to go about restoring them to a new install. I make considerable use of clonezilla images for the OS, but when I have to do a full re-install, I am stuck with making allot of manual adjustments afterwords.

If you're thorough about your backups, you can have your user environment back up in no time, using a combination of rsync for files and ERD for registry backups. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 23.03.2012,<17:56> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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 -- 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

Yes, that fixed the issue. The script runs from the shortcut without error. Thanks for the assistance. LMH Adam Dinwoodie wrote: LMH wrote: Thanks for the advice.

Re: some kind of path problem when running bash script from windows shortcut
Thanks for the advice. I just ran cygcheck, but I'm supprised that you are asking folks to post that. The output contains some personal information, such as the computer name and user name, and I'm guessing that some folks would rather not post that. It's a nice list of everything that is currently installed. I added C:\cygwin\bin to the windows path. I guess I forgot environment variables when I did the re-install. One of these days I need to learn how to do post install config scripts so I don't have to spend two weeks getting my windows the way I want it. The cygcheck output is below. It looks as if C:\cygwin\bin is in the path, but it was definitely not in the path environment variable.

some kind of path problem when running bash script from windows shortcut
I have recently re-installed windows and cygwin, but my old backup
script won't anymore when I run it from a windows icon. It runs fine if
I cd to /usr/local/bin and run it from the command line.
When I run it from the shortcut, I get "file not found" for rsync, date,
unix2dos, and rm. I have temporarily changed the script to use the full
path for these, /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/date.exe instead of date, but I
have used this setup for a while and I'm not sure what has changed. Am I
missing an environment variable or something?
I'm not sure if the problem is in windows or cygwin.
This is the version of the script that doesn't work from the shortcut,
but does work from the command line.
#!/bin/bash
# generic backup function
function backup {
echo " " >> $1
echo " " >> $1
echo "* new log entry *" >> $1
date >> $logfile_path
rsync -v -a -r -p -b --suffix=.back -E -t --log-file=$1 $2 $3
unix2dos $1
}
logfile_path="path_to_logfile"
backup_src_path="path_to_backup_src_loc"
backup_destination_path="path_to_dest_loc"
backup $logfile_path $backup_src_path $backup_destination_path
The shortcut is set up as,
Target: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe /usr/local/bin/backup.sh
Start in: C:\cygwin\bin
Any suggestions?
LMH
