Tim, This (loosely) translates as
Unable to find the description for event ID ( 0 ) in source (crontab). Perhaps the local computer doesn't have the necessary information in the registry, or the message DLL files for printing messages from a remote computer. crontab : PID 1244 : (tim) END EDIT (tim). This message is an syslog message from crontab saying that you've finished editing the crontab file. I doubt it has anything to do with your particular problem. For an explanation of why if can't find the event description, see <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg01087.html>. Did you try looking in /var/log/cron.log?
