Hi Folks,
The actual fault lies in 'cj-defrag' where 'cjx' mails the output
of 'cj-defrag'. 'cj-defrag' calls a child script 'sd-defrag' and
all 'sd-defrag' does is call "df.exe". The single line at the bottom
simplifies the problem: do a quick defrag of the E: drive.
The other issue was $TMP being set to somewhere unwritable. This is a work
machine so I'm assuming it's some daft policy setting. Setting TMP
to "/tmp" fixed that.
$ crontab -l
<crontab -l>

User "cyg_server" is a member of "Administrators" and UAC is disabled. I
have checked the "Run this program as an administrator" option(*) on the
shortcut (compatibility tab) to the desktop mintty terminal before
running 'cron-config'.
(*) Ditto for "setup.exe". Created a shortcut to that and always run as
administrator.
When I run..
"/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Defraggler/df.exe E: /QD"
..from the mintty command line all is well.
It appears (**) the cron daemon is not getting privileges to run "df.exe"
but I am stumped on how to proceed.
TIA
Guy
