Hello all, I have been able to get Cygwin Cron up and operational on Windows XP Home and Windows XP Pro. I am having problems getting working on Windows 2003 Server.
I have installed it as described in many places and the Cron appears to be running. I tried the simple /usr/bin/date job, and I get the error in the Event Log: "(CRON) error (can't switch user context)." I have tried putting the everyone group on the Local Security policies for "Create a token object", "Logon as service", and "Replace a process level token". The problem still happens. I looked through the archives and it appears that no solution has worked yet. Or at least it has not been published yet. I asked the last person to work on this problem, and they gave up. Can we revisit this again? Does anybody have ideas? By the way, I see reference to a cron README file that should have been in the install. I cannot find it anywhere yet. Did it get lost in the new releases or is it hiding somewhere other than /usr/doc? /Brian Cruikshank -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
