Hi,

Install cygwin 1.3.10 in windows 2000 advanced server
SP3. I used Veritas Netbackup for backup system.
Recently, I got error

ERR = failure reading file: D:\cygwin\var\run\cron.pid
(The process cannot access the file because another
process has locked a portion of the file)

I can open cron.pid by notepad.

Is the cron.pid corrupt ? 
What's usage for cron.pid ? If I don't backup
cron.pid, can I resume service after restored ?
Or any suggestion ?

I cannot upgrade the cygwin version as it's in
production environment.

Thanks
