I am one step closer, but things are still a little strange. I set the cron service to log in as Administrator, and it will now service the Administrator crontab. It will not run the tasks in another users crontab.
This might be a usuable solution for me, but not the preferred one. I am still searching for the final answer. /Brian ==================================================================== Re: Windows 2003 Server & Cygwin Cron From: "Brian Cruikshank" <brian at cruik dot org> To: <cygwin at cygwin dot com> Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 13:27:33 -0700 Subject: Re: Windows 2003 Server & Cygwin Cron -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am getting some success with your suggestions. Cron is now starting and I do not get the applications errors of switching user context. Cron is staying active in my setup too. But my test crontab with date is not working. Is there a log file to see what cron is running and doing? I am trying to get the Mailto= output working, but I have not had success yet. But I have not used this feature before. Thanks for the pointer to the docs. By the way adding Everyone to the security policies was only a test. I had no intentions of leaving it. /Brian ============================================================================ =========== From: Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin at cygwin dot com> To: cygwin at cygwin dot com Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 19:46:17 +0100 Subject: Re: Windows 2003 Server & Cygwin Cron References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-to: cygwin at cygwin dot com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- On Tue, Nov 11, 2003 at 07:13:33PM +0100, Ren?

Check if the new cron_server user account has execute permissions on the cron.exe executable.
