Hi,

I just recently installed version 2.78.2.3 of cygwin.

I'm trying to get the cron facility operatoional.

I have done the following :

(1) Set the cron facility as an NT/W2K service

cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a '-D' -e CYGWIN="tty ntsec"

(2) I started the service:

cygrunsrv -S cron

(3) I set up an Adminstrator crontab file

However, the job does not run.

The following errors appear in the Event Log:

Could someone please help.
