I'm finding if I run the cron command manually from a shell window, it works. If I try to start it as a service, it fails to start. Below is what I found in the win2k application log. Does it help?
"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: cron : PID 2976 : starting service `cron' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted." Is this some sort of a permissions problem? Do I need to start the cron service as a specific user? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harig, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Chuck Hamilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 1:03 PM Subject: RE: crontab error Please re-run the cron_diagnose.sh script to see if it can find any problems. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chuck Hamilton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 8:44 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: crontab error > > > I do have the utilities and I was able to create a group and > passwd file.
