Bit of a conundrum here.  Running WIN7 and cygwin64.  Have the terminal 
running and Perl is installed and runs.  AFAIK, that all works.  Used 
cygrunsrv to get cron going.  I can see cron in a ps -af in the 
terminal.  I set up a crontab for my user and it's in /var/cron/tabs by 
using crontab -e.

Doesn't seem to be running anything in the crontab.  I had wanted to run 
a Perl script in a Windows Directory outside the cygwin structure but 
using the /cygdrive/c etc path.  Ain't working.  Even tried the simplest 
thing I could think of and created a line date > dt.txt on it.  
Normally, under *nix this  would put the results of date in dt.txt in 
the home directory.  Not there.

Just isn't running anything as far as I can tell.

Any suggestions.  I'd like to get this working.  Want am I missing? 
Help  appreciated.  Thank you
