Hi, I'm just trying to run cron as an windows 2000 service. I'm currently facing a prblem which I couldn't solve with the help of mailing-list archives or any other internet resources for the last two weeks. So please don't answer 'check the archives ...' ;-)
ntsec is not set After cygwin installation, I'm running crontab -e to create/edit a crontab. Works as expected. After that I'm installing cron as a windows service using the "CYGWIN=3Dntsec" parameter. Works as expected. My cronjobs are doing fine. The problem is, that cron changes the rights for /var/cron/tabs in a way that I can't write there any more. Thus trying to change the crontab in future results in a permission denied message. If I install cron without the ntsec parameter, I'm able to change my crontab as often as I want. But the tradeoff is, that my jobs are not executed (can't switch user context). /etc/passwd and /etc/group should be fine since generated using mk... -l > /etc/... if I set the ntsec parameter 'globally' as an windows environment variable, my rights are somehow messed up: I can't even write in my home directory or in /tmp ... Any hints welcome Ralph BTW: great tool! ________________________________________________________________ Ralph Winzinger 100world AG MiddleWare Center Vordere Cramergasse 11 Fon: +49 (0)911 4244-202 D-90478 Nürnberg Fax: +49 (0)911 4244-100 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.100world.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
