my crontab:
26 * * * * /bin/csh -xv /cygdrive/c/sismalp/acqdata/es.csh >> /tmp/crontst2 2>&1
the file /tmp/crontst2 remains empty.

my script es.csh:
#!/bin/csh -f
cd /cygdrive/c/sismalp/acqdata/DATA
set acq = /cygdrive/g
set list = `/bin/ls $acq`
echo $list >> toto
exit

my file toto increase of one empty line at each execution, instead of a simple
directory list.

vi /var/log/cron.d:
[1564] cron started.

I can't see any error logs.
