Thank you for this definitive but negative answer. It saves me time to try in vain. Are there any alternative ways to do the same thing as cron? I only heard about WinCron. Thanks.
How about Windows own TaskScheduler?
I should have mentioned it in the last email.
I have been using Windows own TaskScheduler so far. What I don't like it is that it cannot run jobs silently at background, particularly when a job is a batch file or a bash script. Whenever such a job is started, an annoying DOS window pops up and it also occupies my taskbar.
