    <p>I'm attempting to use Cygwin from a Windows server to automate some commands that need to be run on a remote Linux server. To solve this issue I've built an expect script that runs within Cygwin to SSH to the Linux server and execute the appropriate commands.</p> <p>Now I'm trying to take that automation one step further by wrapping the execution of Cygwin with a batch script and schedule it via the Windows Task scheduler.</p> <p>I've tried the following to call Bash from my batch script:</p> <pre><code>c:\cygwin64\bin\bash C:\myscript.exp </code></pre> <p>This causes the script to throw an error when the TCL Expect language syntax appears.</p> <p>I've also tried the following to call Expect from my batch script:</p> <pre><code> c:\cygwin64\bin\expect C:\myscript.exp </code></pre> <p>This causes the script to throw an error when I try to spawn SSH</p> <p>Here is a snippet from my Expect script:</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/expect proc doSomething {p1 p2} { expect "* information here:" send -- "$p1\r" } set server [lrange $argv 0 0] spawn ssh perfmet@$server # Additional commands below </code></pre> <p>Is there any way for me to get this solution working?</p> <p>Edit: </p> <p>Here are the error messages when I use the Bash executable to launch the script:</p> <pre><code>C:\scpbot_reset&gt;scpbot_reset.bat C:\cygwin64\home\myaccountr\scpbot_reset\reset_script: line 2: proc: command not fo und C:\cygwin64\home\myaccountr\scpbot_reset\reset_script: line 3: expect: command not found C:\cygwin64\home\myaccountr\scpbot_reset\reset_script: line 4: send: command not fo und </code></pre> <p>Here is the error message when I use the Expect executable to launch the script:</p> <pre><code>C:\scpbot_reset&gt;scpbot_reset.bat couldn't execute "ssh": no such file or directory while executing "spawn ssh perfmet@192.168.0.199" (file "C:\cygwin64\home\myaccountr\scpbot_reset\reset_script" line 14) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
