| I got this when try to start service
| $ cygrunsrv -S cron
| cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
| The service has not been started.

| What am I doing wrong?
The cron is very picky, I fought with it 4 months with very odd
error messages until I got it right. Try this [do not change a thing!]
cygrunsrv --stop "Cygwin cron" && cygrunsrv --remove "Cygwin cron"
cygrunsrv -I "Cygwin cron" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a '-D' -e "CYGWIN=ntsec"
cygrunsrv --start "Cygwin cron"
I don't use NTFS in W2k Pro, but I still put the
CYGWIN=ntsec
Maybe someone can comment if there would be more appropriate value.
