Hi everyone,
I'm having some problems with cron & crontab in cygwin, running on
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Service Pack 4.
What: I have two cronjobs setup, running at a 3 hour difference. The
first job runs at 7PM, Monday through Friday, and tar -cjPf's .DBF files
in a certain directory. The next script runs at 10PM, Monday through
Friday, and tar -cjPf's * files in a certain directory. These were
working OK for a few days, then they stopped. I noticed this when I
checked on the backups the following day, and found that all of the
recently made files were only 42b big, as opposed to 128MB or such.
If I run the contents of the scripts from the command line, everything
works OK.
I have pasted all relevant information at http://paste.fixertec.net/5
Also, today, I ran 'crontab -e' from the command line, and I got the
error from lines 30 to 34, at http://paste.fixertec.net/5.
I then ran 'net stop cron' and 'net start cron', which then allowed me
to do a 'crontab -e' successfully.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
