Long standing programs like cron just install and run. Using cygwin 1.5, it does. Using 1.7, it does not. I have no idea what was done to 1.7 to cause cron to not work, no matter what the Hell I try to do. So I said f**k it and removed all of the 1.7 files and reinstalled 1.5 from the local fil

cron log file empty

2011-12-16 Thread Mike Brown
I'd look into the cron log file to see if it held any clues as to why it won't run anything in my crontab, except that it is empty. What good is a log file if nothing is logged? Oh crap, now it is back to wrong file owner. MB -- e-mail: vid...@vidiot.com | vid...@vidiot.net/~\ The A

I desperately need to get this fixed as I will be leaving for a trip on the 20th and have some cron stuff to run while I am gone. I ran cron-diagnose.sh, which now runs the cron-config, and changed from just-me to local system and that still didn't fix the problem. A ps -eaf shows that cron is no
