Subject: Where can i get program listing of Cygwin cron

Hi,

I still cannot get home directory of user (/home/user)
when running 
"echo $HOME >> file" in cron. It gives /cygdrive/c. I
checked I have not 
set system environment HOME in w2k. User can run cron
in cygwin and 
telnet to cygwin.

I think the SYSTEM account may define $HOME as
/cygdrive/c implicitly.

1. I would like to get the program listing of cron in
cygwin in order 
to trace & understand how cron is run. Where can i get
it ?

2. Anyone know how to show the variable defined in
SYSTEM account.

3. Where can i get more information about
steps/concepts of switch 
concept for SYSTEM account ?

3. Does cron run profile of user ? 

thanks

bella
