There are only two options you can pass to cron. 1) -D (got the meaning wrong the last time; Means don't fork) and 2) -x which is a debugging option which prints out, well, debugging info ;-) > And what is the use of the option -a? When I referred to the `-a' option I was talking about cygrunsrv. The `-a' option takes the arguments you wish to pass to the executable, cron.exe, and when the service is started it is started with those arguments. For example, taken from cron.README: $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D Regards, Elfyn McBratney [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.exposure.org.uk -- 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/
