I'm a little confused. Ps -eaf shows the cron process running. However Windows Services say that it is not. My crontab is coming back with incorrect permissions. Can you let me know what I need to do to get cron working ? ************* You have a cron service defined but stopped under the account cron_server but you also have a cron process running ./cron under account administrator (10500). It was not launched as a service and it has locked /var/run/cron.pid, preventing other crons from running. In addition you seem to have users called both Administrator and also administrator, which is suspicious. The group of administrator is mkgroup-l-d, which suggests that your /etc/group file is not up to date. The uid of administrator is 10500, it is probably a domain administrator who may not be in /etc/passwd.
