Adams) Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 10:45:49 -0400 Message-ID: Lines: 23 User-Agent: Gnus/5.090007 (Oort Gnus v0.07) XEmacs/21.4 (Common Lisp, i386-debian-linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dear Friends, I have this odd problem with the latest cron. cron_diagnose seems to think everything is fine. I followed the instruction for reinstalling cron as a service. The service is set to interact with desktop. I want to run a perl (non-cygwin) script that starts a gui application and manipulates it via an OLE interface. The application is for downloading financial data (CSI UA). When cron is running as a service, the application starts, the GUI comes up, but it does not start the update (as requested via OLE). If I start cron from a shell. The application works as expected. Any clues? Thanks a lot. -- John M.
