Hello,

I'm having trouble running cron with Cygwin:
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 CITYWEB02 1.3.6(0.47/3/2) 2001-12-08 17:02 i686 unknown

I installed cron with the command

$ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -e "CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec" -e "MAILTO=rkoopmans AT city
ofsacramento.org"

I install a crontab with the contents
* * * * * date >> /crontest.out
through crontab.

The service starts, but nothing seems to happen.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Ryan Koopmans
