If you are still unable to get cron to work, then try shutting down the cron service, uninstalling it, reinstalling it, and restarting it. The following commands will do that: $ cygrunsrv --stop cron $ cygrunsrv --remove cron $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D $ cygrunsrv --start cron If that does not fix the problem, then report your problem to cygwin@cygwin.com. Please include a copy of your crontab ('crontab -l') and the output of 'cygcheck -srv > cygcheck.txt'. cygcheck.txt should be included *as an attachment*, NOT in the body of the mail message. $ cygrunsrv --stop cron $ cygrunsrv --remove cron $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D $ cygrunsrv --start cron cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. $ --=_jive-25632-1054126473-0001-2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ --=_jive-25632-1054126473-0001-2--
