CYGWIN_NT-6.1 1.7.25(0.270/5/3) 2013-08-31 20:39 i686 Cygwin I want to set up a cron job, so I have to get cron configured. I'm trying to follow the instructions I can find, but I'm seeing several issues.
I'm surprised that there's nothing in the user guide or the FAQ about setting up cron. I had to settle for the various questions about this on StackOverflow and others. I must have done something at least half correct, because I believe this tells me that cron is running: % cygrunsrv -L cron % cronevents 2013/09/20 21:14:06 [dk068x] crontab: PID 5924: (dk068x) LIST (dk068x) 2013/09/21 11:28:15 [dk068x] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 4980: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) 2013/09/21 11:28:16 [dk068x] cron: PID 8424: `cron' service started However, I then do "crontab <pathtomycrontabfile>", where "pathtomycrontabfile" is the path to my crontab file with the job I want to run. I then do "crontab -l" and it prints nothing. There is nothing in "/var/log/cron*". I did get some errors when I ran "cron-config", but I unfortunately lost that output. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
