well, I removed all my cron intallation:
$ cygrunsrv --stop cron
$ cygrunsrv --remove cron
$ rm -f /var/run/cron.pid
$ rm -f /var/log/cron*
$ cygrunsrv -L
(empty row)
then I restarted cygwin and:
$ /usr/bin/cron-config
...as service? yes
...yourself? no
...ntsec? yes
...start ..service? yes
now:
$ cygrunsrv -L
cron
$ cygrunsrv -Q cron
Service : cron
Display name : Cron daemon
Current State : Running
Controls Accepted : Stop
Command : /usr/sbin/cron -D
$ crontab -l

$ ls -l /home/micekiller/ | grep tmp

$ ls -l /home/micekiller/tmp

grrrr ...does't work!
$ ll /var/log/cron.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM root 39 Oct 8 10:31 /var/log/cron.log
$ cat /var/log/cron.log
[836] cron started
[1032] cron started
where I'm wrong? Thanks O.
