>1. Have you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README?

Yes.

>2. Have you tried using a simple crontab entry?
>   What have you tried?

yes i am using now the following example:
crontab -e

* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt

"as you suggested to Buck Turgidson"

but there is nothing yet in /tmp/ (6 minutes waiting)

yes the /tmp directory has the 777 permissions

thanks for your hints!
