Hello All:

New to Cygwin but not to UNIX or NT/2000.

I added  /usr/sbin/cron  and  /usr/sbin/syslogd  to the NT services.
--------------
cygrunsrv.exe --install "CYGWIN syslogd" --path /usr/sbin/syslogd.exe
cygrunsrv.exe --install "CYGWIN cron" --path /usr/sbin/cron.exe
--------------



However, launching syslogd failed and I received two Event Viewer
Application Log entries:
--------------
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( CYGWIN syslogd ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information
or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The
following information is part of the event: CYGWIN syslogd : Win32 Process
Id = 0x71C : Cygwin Process Id = 0x71C : `CYGWIN syslogd' service started.

Id = 0x71C : Cygwin Process Id = 0x71C : `CYGWIN syslogd' service stopped.

And I received 3 entries attempting to start cron:
--------------
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( /usr/sbin/cron.exe ) cannot
be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote

: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok).

failed: execv: 0, error 0.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advanced
