Hello, I'm trying to set up a simple cron job with the network drive.
I use cron 3.0.1 with cygwin.my crontab has this :
* * * * * /usr/bin/cp /tmp/date.txt /etc/date.txt
it works fine once i start the cron job
however when
try to
* * * * * /usr/bin/cp /tmp/date.txt /cygdrive/Z/PUBLIC/stas/date.txt
nothing happens!
/cygdrive/Z/PUBLIC/stas/ has drwxr-xr-x permissions
when i try to chmod it via cygwin, permissions wont change.


When i simply run the command: /usr/bin/cp /tmp/date.txt
/cygdrive/Z/PUBLIC/stas/date.txt, it works.

Please help me to figure out why cron wont work with the network drive.
Thank you!
