You can define your crontab as this: # use /bin/bash to run commands, no matter what /etc/passwd says SHELL=3D/bin/bash # make sure to use this PATH PATH=3D/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/c= ygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/VXIPNP/WinNT/Bin:/cygdrive/c/cvi/icaro/dati 40 * * * * trasf_DOS.exe;echo "tab eseguito alle $(date)">/home/Administrator/cronlog It's all explained in "man 5 crontab".
