Hi,
I just installed a brand new cygwin on my WinXP machine, but I can not get
cron work for me. Here is how I did it:
1) "cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a D"
2) "crontab -e" to edit the crontab file, here is the dump out,
$ crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.2836 installed on Wed Jan 4 10:14:53 2006)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41

16 10 * * * linq rsync -azv emperor:/dev/tools/*
/cygdrive/c/bin/tools
3) "cygrunsrv S cron"
If I go to "start" -->"Administritive tools" -->"service", I can see that
cron is started.
I tried that command in crontab, "rsync -azv emperor:/dev/tools/*
/cygdrive/c/bin/tools", it works fine if i run it on shell manually.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
