I didn't keep a record of the cron & cygwin version I was using previously. Personally I've been through the source, as I had to turn off Event Log logging, but I'm not a very good source editor yet, if I find anything I'll let you know. I'm on the opinion it may be related to the environment value for CYGWIN, or maybe the stuff below: Just a note, when the makefile has the following two lines: $(INSTALL) -c -m 755 -o root -s cron $(DESTSBIN)/ $(INSTALL) -c -m 4755 -o root -s crontab $(DESTBIN)/ I replace root with SYSTEM. I presume this is correct ?! > anyone who knows :). cheers dan _____________________________ Dan Gardner Producer MCN online http://www.motorcyclenews.com -----Original Message----- From: Jason Tishler [mailto:jason AT tishler DOT net] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 4:11 PM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Re: cron / crontab different permissions Chris, On Wed, Sep 19, 2001 at 10:31:58AM -0400, Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Wed, Sep 19, 2001 at 10:03:09AM -0400, Jason Tishler wrote: > >What are Dan and I missing? > > Standard answer #1: Inspection of the cron source, maybe? I agree that the above is one way -- the definitive way. However, I assumed that someone else (possibly many) have gotten cron to work on their system. I also assumed that some of those would be kind enough to share their knowledge -- I have done so on many occasions in the past. Unfortunately, if the above assumptions are invalid, then I will resort to your suggestion.
