Subject: cron service install with parameter
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi gurus,

/usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README tells how to install cron as
Windows service:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D

When crontab contains script files, they are not executed
unless cron service is installed using:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -d "Cygwin cron" -e
"CYGWIN=tty ntsec"

May I suggest a small patch to cron.README ?

Marek
