Hi, I did the following to start the server. cygrunsrv -S cron And I see it running: admin@TMLA-SRAMACHAND /tmp $ ps -ef|grep cron SYSTEM 2084 2068 ? 13:49:45 /usr/sbin/cron
Also tried checking the below date example in crontab. Still not running. Stopped and started again, but still not working. Hoping for your help. The cron version I'm running is 3.0.1-7. Thank you, Smithesh. -----Original Message----- From: Harig, Mark A.

Debug one problem at a time. Instead of trying to get your perl script to work via 'cron', try to get the 'date' command to work, for example: * * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt Once you have that working, you can work on the perl script problem. > -----Original Message----- > From: Smithesh Ramachandran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 2:00 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: cygwin crontab > > > Hi Corinna, > I'm having trouble with cygwin crontab.
