How is cron started

At the moment, my piece of crap mobo wants to screw up every now and then. I'm looking for a different mobo and processor. Tonight, for example, it decided to croak and reboot. So, I wanted to turn off having to log in so that my stuff will restart. I don't remember how I set XP to cause the log

Re: Reloaded Win XP, now need to reload cygwin - sorta

I just thought of something else. Why not have the setup program have a section where it asks if the user wants to start services like cron and ssh, where there would be the selection box and at the bottom of the GUI it would tell the user to reference the readme files in the doc directory as well

Re: Reloaded Win XP, now need to reload cygwin - sorta

I GOT IT WORKING! The clues that got me thinking were the login problems with cron-config and the manual timer setup problems with TSReader. Both complained about not being able to complete, because of login problems. So, I set up the system in classic login mode and sure enough, I couldn't

Reloaded Win XP, now need to reload cygwin - sorta

I had to replace the mobo because, well, simple, the other one died :-( I had to reload WinXP-SP2 because the mobo drivers that were there didn't simply cause an error and abort, they caused (or at least the one that did this) the boot process to fail and caused a reboot. So, XP-SP2 was reloaded.

IT WORKS!!! The original problem with the "-a 0" being a combined value was it. When I separated them, I get the echo into the log correct for the new variable names, but had a typo for for one of them in the actual command launch. Thanks for the pointer/tip. Onward and upward. MB -- e-mail:

Re: sh script works, zsh script doesn't

An added tidbit. I turned the LOG script into a Z-shell script by changing the first line to "#!/usr/bin/zsh" and tsreader started just fine. It is the main Z-shell script that is having trouble starting tsreader and I have no clue why. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sh script works, zsh script doesn't

At the end of this e-mail is the script that I am attempting to run. As it is current written, the tsreader program will start and run, IFF the $LOG file is told to run. As can be seen, it is built as a SHell script. If I comment out the ling that start $LOG and uncomment the line at the very en
