[RD] I believe the problem was in the user accounts I have setup on my
windows box. I have both a domain account <domain name>\rdavies, and a
machine account <machine name>\rdavies. I'll spare you the reasons why.
While I had stopped and deleted the service cron with cygrunsrv, I had
never tried to install and start the service using the 2 steps. When I
tried, the -u rdavies flag actually picked up the machine not domain
user. And it wouldn't start.
I deleted the machine user (assigned to group none, and not likely to
get any use anyway) and then reconfigured with cron-configure. Poof! I
now have a new line every minute in the goofy log file I was testing
with. Thanks for your help.
