I have just installed the latest cygwin and set up cron to run using

cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
cygrunsrv -S cron

It is running as a service (both in XP task manager and in ps -ef)

But I can't get it to execute commands.  I have tried a crontab as both 
/etc/crontab and /var/cron/tabs/Russell

Is there an FAQ for getting cron running under cygwin?  I can't been 
able to find one.

Thanks

Russell
