Schedule babun script

I need to execute a Babun script with Windows Scheduler on Windows Server 2003, the problem is: How can I execute a script in Babun shell from a .bat or similar?

The script is a really simple one line rsync command.

Here is the Babun reference.

Solution

  • first copy .babunrc to .babun_scheduler_rc and add one line export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH"

    The location of .babunrc is: C:\Users\user\.babun\cygwin\home\user you can edit it from babun too.

    next create the script.bat:

    @echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

set SCRIPT_PATH=%~dp0
set SCRIPT_PATH=%SCRIPT_PATH:\=/%
set BABUN_HOME=%SCRIPT_PATH%
set CYGWIN_HOME=%BABUN_HOME%\cygwin
set BASH=%CYGWIN_HOME%\bin\bash.exe

"%BASH%" -c "source ~/.babun_scheduler_rc && rsync -Crav /cygdrive/c/Path/To/Copy user@remote:/tmp/path/to/copy"

    and now you can add it to the scheduler.
