| Hi there, | | I'm not having any luck starting up cron as a service? I installed | cygwin as a local user, then I ran mkpasswd with -d since I realized | that I should have been a domain user instead. Now, I'm not able start | cron as a service. I am using cron_diagnose.sh to config cron as a | service. After getting the Win32 error 1062 message, it tells me to | check the cron.log and cronevents for error messages. When I check | cron.log, I'm only getting the following message: | | cron: unknown option -- n | usage: /usr/sbin/cron [-D] [-x debugflag[,...]] Looks like you are using the old version of cron (3.x) with the current cron-config /usr/sbin/cron.exe should be about 37 kB, not 24kB Pierre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
