Hi,
I upgraded my cygwin recently to the latest cron (4.1-6), and it seems to have
stopped working. I did a cygrunsrv -E cron when the setup asked me to kill
cron, and cygrunsrv -S cron to start it after the upgrade finished.
Now the application log shows that /usr/sbin/cron actually runs, but instead of
running the command from the crontab, it simply does a tabs reload. The
following are relevant lines from cygbug.txt, the first one shows an instance
of the old cron, the second one an instance of the new one.
2008/01/10 00:21:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 1412: (HP_Owner) CMD (ls)
...
2008/01/10 20:50:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 3104: (HP_Owner) RELOAD
(tabs/HP_Owner)
The only thing that jumped out at me was that /var/cron/cron.log and
/var/run/cron.pid have user SYSTEM and group root, and afaict these are the
only files in the cygwin space with that user+group pair. Is this right? Also
the cron.log file is empty.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
saurabh
