Hi I have been having similar problems with running cron on through cygwin.
Here is what I have done so far: 1) created a simple shell file <create_new_dir.sh> #!/bin/sh echo "test" mkdir "/home/landon/scripts/HIPPO" 2) ran shell in command prompt and it worked perfectly. 3) created a text file <new>: */1 * * * * sh create_dir_new.sh > /home/myusername/logfile 4) tried to run the cron but nothing happend 5) checked the /var/log/cron and here is what it said unable to set groups for myusername Any thoughts? thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Similar-Cron-issue--Cron-wont-do-anything-tp23177251p23177251.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
