You should run /usr/bin/cron-config, and not try to do this by hand because there is much more to do than just installing the service. > 16 10 * * * linq rsync -azv emperor:/dev/tools/* > /cygdrive/c/bin/tools That is not the proper format of a user's crontab line. There is no such "username" field as the fifth field in a user's crontab, it should just be "16 10 * * * rsync ...". It was trying to execute a command named "linq" that does not exist, and there should be errors to this effect in the Windows Event Log. See "man 5 crontab". Also realize that if you do not have system-wise mounts and Cygwin in the PATH the above will not work. This would have been evident if you attached the cygcheck output as requested in <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
