Mark,

 Thanks for responding to this.

 I found the problem. Apparently, I had tried to add the SYSTEM account to a second group. So, that in my /etc/passwd file it looked like  SYSTEM:*:18:18,544:,S-1-5-18::/bin/bash

 This caused the problem. I went and removed that ,544 and my cron service has started up.

  Perhaps adding a check on the proper SYSTEM account in /etc/passwd to cron_diagnose.sh may be appropriate. Although, I'm not too sure that anyone else will do anything quite this strange.

Thanks,
  Mark

I can't see any glaring errors.  Here a some things you might try:
 
1. You're running Windows 2000, SP2.  Is there any reason you haven't
installed SP3?
    I doubt that this has any effect, but it might be worth trying.
 
2. You have Windows 2000 installed on your 'c:' drive, but Cygwin is
installed
    on your 'd:' drive.  You might try installing a minimal Cygwin on
your 'c:'
    drive, and retrying cron.  Have you been running Cygwin on 'd:' all
along?
 
If you find a fix that you think could be detected by the
cron_diagnose.sh
script, please let me know so that it can improve.

Hi, 

  I have been experiencing this error ever since I rebooted my server. I
am now unable to start the cron service. I have attached my cygcheck
file and I have run cron_diagnose.sh as suggested by Mark A. Harig on
his posting on 20-Dec-2002.

 In addition, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the cron service and I
have reinstalled the cron and cygrunsrv components.

 I am using Win2000 Server. My Event Log displays the following error. 
      The following information is part of the event: cron : Win32
Process Id = 0x9A0 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x9A0 : starting service `cron'
failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted.

I would appreciate any suggestions that you can offer. 

Thanks, 
  Mark
