You seem to imply that I don't need to replace root with SYSTEM (or was the below referring to the crontab/cron permissions problem?). Presuming it was, I agree as I've tried the standard cygwin install of cron (without re-compiling my self), and I have the same "CAN'T OPEN (tabs/username)" error message. I'll post once I've got to the bottom of it - if no one beats me to it. I never let these things beat me :) cheers dan _____________________________ Dan Gardner Producer MCN online http://www.motorcyclenews.com -----Original Message----- From: Corinna Vinschen [mailto:cygwin AT cygwin DOT com] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 6:05 PM To: 'cygwin AT cygwin DOT com' Subject: Re: cron / crontab different permissions On Wed, Sep 19, 2001 at 06:01:09PM +0200, Corinna Vinschen wrote: > On Wed, Sep 19, 2001 at 04:27:21PM +0100, Dan Gardner wrote: > > 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.

The ownership is no problem for Cygwin.
