Re: Windows 2003 Server & Cygwin Cron

I am running on Windows 2003 server, and set up cron_server per this note. The cron server starts just fine, but reports that it can't open tabs/theuser (where theuser is the user account name). The protection on tabs/theuser is 640 o.g is user.SYSTEM which is probably why cron server can't open

Re: Windows 2003 Server & Cygwin Cron

I absolutely agree, Corinna. The correct fix is to use the administrators group. I was provided with a crontab that sets the group ownership to administrators, rather than SYSTEM, and it is fine. Benn > Quoting crontab.c from the cron-3.0.1-11 sources: > > /* Cygwin can't support changing the ow

Re: tcsh broken after upate to cygwin 1.3.8

child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed

I had cygwin running just fine on my laptop, but my simple startxwin.cmd (run from cmd.exe) script started failing. In stepping through it, I found that I was getting "child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed" error on xrdb, which appears to be when it runs cpp. I upgraded to cygwin-1.5.19-2
