| | Hi, | | Before I start, I would like to inform that, I went through all FAQs and | other threads before posting here. | I came across this thread where I faced the similar error, but couldn't get | what they did to resolve it. | | http://www.nabble.com/1.5.21-1%3AWindows-2003-Server---Cygwin-Cron-tf2425192.html#a6972241 | | I 'm trying to schedule a shell script on cygwin using cron. No matter what | I do I don't seem to get the cron job executing my bash script. | | My script is temp.sh | | echo `date` > /home/test/temp.log | | crontab -e is having the following details | | * * * * * sh /home/test/temp.sh > /home/test/temp.sh.err 2>&1 | | I did use the paths in the script itself and I also used the windows path | where the cygwin installed(/cygdrive/d/cygwin/). | | I also tried using the following by editing the crontab: | | * * * * * date > /home/test/date.txt | | Still not working. I don't have administrator login. I ran the | cron_diagnose.sh and it din't give me any errors. When you run cron_diagnose.sh you should see the following on the screen: ** If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output (the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail. ** Please do that after you have tried to launch cron with cron-config.
