Hi gurus, After installing cron, I did 'ps -ef' and found that cron was not started. So I checked /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README, and I tried to start the Windows service using: cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D Then I checked Windows processes, and no cron.exe was there, so I tried to start the Windows service manually, and got: Could not start thecron service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error.
Following http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg00329.html I created manually: mkdir -p /var/cron chmod 1777 /var/cron mkdir /var/cron/tabs chmod 1777 /var/cron/tabs and started Cygwin bash: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cron seteuid: Permission denied What does the last error mean ? How do I start cron properly ? /Marek -- 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/
