The environmental variable PATH is as follows:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/e/OraHome1/bin:/c/Program
Files/Oracle/jre/1.1.7/bin:
/c/PW32:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:
/c/Program Files/Resource Pro Kit:.
The cron service is running within cygrunsrv as follows:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a '-D' -e CYGWIN="tty ntsec"
