The '18' in your output is the group ownership number. As documented in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README, this needs to be set to '18' (which should be the group number of SYSTEM in /etc/group). Your crontab's permissions and ownerships are set correctly. Try using a simpler crontab entry, for example: * * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt Delete all other lines in your crontab until you can get this entry to work. Make sure that cron has 'write' permission in /tmp, for example: chmod 777 /tmp --- -- 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/
