Hi all,
I have the following batch shell script (org-git-synch.bat):
@ECHO OFF
REM get date and time
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('date/t') do @set mydate=%%a
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('time/t') do @set mytime=%%a
set fvar=%mydate%%mytime%
REM add all new files
call git add .
call git commit -a -m "Automated commit by org-git-sync.bat on %fvar%"
The script resides in h:/org/; and I have a working git repository in
this directory (in h:/org/.git).
I can run the script from the command line no problem, but when I try to
run it from the Windoze scheduler, all I get is a cmd window saying:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I did re-initialize the repository, but that didn't matter, since git
status and everything else works fine from the command line. I'm on Win
7 Pro 64 bit SP 1.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

At a guess (I dont use the windows scheduler), the working directory of the batch file
is not being set to h:/org
I dont know if there is a way to tell the windows scheduler what the working directory
should be, so maybe try cd'ing to h:/org at the start of your script?

Thanks Matt,
this was the problem. U can specify the directory where the script
should be run in the scheduler.
