More than likely, this is because a needed service isn't starting before crond. Check the email archives for this problem. You'll find some suggestions of services you might want to create dependencies for. >The error from "cron.exe" when run on the command line is: > > seteuid: Not owner > >Corinna Vinschen responded with: > >>> Sure. cron needs privileges only given to SYSTEM by default. > >So my question is: What do I do to give cron these privileges?
