I've run Mark's latest cron_diagnose.sh which always reports OK I then obey:- $ cygrunsrv --stop cron $ cygrunsrv --remove cron $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D $ cygrunsrv --start cron The first 3 are OK but I get >cygrunsrv --start cron cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. I can't get cron to run from the prompt (many manage this). I've checked mounts, /etc/passwd etc HAS ANYONE GOT PAST ALL THIS?
