I am having a problem starting cron, and am thinking its because I installed
Cygwin for just me instead of for everyone.

Here's what I am doing:

joey AT MARISA /usr/sbin
$ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D

joey AT MARISA /usr/sbin
$ cygrunsrv -S cron
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

If I try to run cron manually, I get this message:


joey AT MARISA /usr/sbin
$ cron
seteuid: Not owner

I don't know if there is a log I can look at to see if there is more
information that I can give.  This is on a Windows 2000 server system, build
2195.  I have a /etc/group which has the SYSTEM identity which I have not
changed and its in the /etc/passwd as well.  I have administrator rights on
this machine as well.  Is there anything else I can check?  Any ideas are
appreciated!

Thanks,
Joey
