Hi Mark, I tried ver 1.7 cron_diagnose.sh, but no problem was spotted. Also I do not understand your second observation about /etc/passwd and /etc/group, could you please elaborate on it?
For example I changed my group (GID) from 12385 (mkgroup_l_d) to 547 (Power Users). The output of 'id' is now: uid=14919(SPI) gid=547(Power Users) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),12385(mkgroup_l_d) I tried to install/start cron again but got the same error. Any further helps is of course welcome ;-) Bye Enrico > -----Original Message----- > From: Harig, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 11:10 PM > To: SPINIELLI Enrico > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: cron start error > > > > So I did the following: > > 1. run cron_diagnose.sh (ver 1.6), which did not find any problems. > > Although it is unlikely to locate the source of your problem, please > try running ver. 1.7: > > http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg00207.html > > > > b. output of 'cygcheck -srv' (Note: I got a > > 'GetVolumeInformation() failed') > > From your cygcheck.txt: > > ] Output from D:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) > ] UID: 14919(SPI) GID: 12385(mkgroup_l_d) > ] 544(Administrators) 545(Users) > ] 12385(mkgroup_l_d) > > It looks as though you have not set up your /etc/group file > and 'group' entry for your user account (ID 14919) in your > /etc/passwd file.
