To alleviate that sort of problem, I use this snippet (from my preusercmd
script):
--
$WINEXE --interactive=0 -U $UNAME -W $WRKGRP --password=$PWD //$BOX 'cmd
/c c:\backuppc\pre-exec.cmd' <&- &
pid=$!
# Wait 5 minutes
echo "sleep 300; kill $pid > /dev/null 2>&1" | at now
wait $pid &> /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 143 ]; then
exit 100
fi
--
Note that I close stdin -- beats me why, but if I don't do this, winexe
has a tendency to run away occasionally.
