I now have access to a Cygwin 1.7 installation. I've been trying things out and
I am having a spot of trouble that I hope someone can help me through.
I created a crontab file. In it, I want to run a program from my $HOME/bin
directory.
However, I don't know what environment variables the crontab entries will have.
Will crontab know what "$HOME/bin/myscript.bash" is? When the time passed for
my script to run, I don't see any indication that it happened. I looked in
/var/log to see if there was any sort of logging of problems in crontab, but I
don't see anything relevant. /var/log/messages is empty (as is /var/log/wtmp).
I don't see any logs in /var/cron/tabs/ , and I don't see any relevant info in
the crontab man page. In the cron man page there is a reference to using syslog
if cron was built appropriately. I don't know any more about syslog, however,
because there's no syslog man page.
