Installation was done under a user account. I tried to install a cron job by running: EDITOR=emacs crontab -e After reading through the mailing lists on a similar problem, I remembered to set the variable 'make-backup-files' to nil, and verified that the inum for the temporary file remained unchanged after saving the file. However, when I exit out of emacs, nothing happens. It returns to the bash prompt with no messages. According to crontab -l, the table was not installed. Any other ideas what could be wrong? -- Trevin Beattie -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
