Hi, Igor

well, I removed all my cron intallation:

$ cygrunsrv --stop cron
$ cygrunsrv --remove cron
$ rm -f /var/run/cron.pid
$ rm -f /var/log/cron*

$ cygrunsrv -L
 (empty row)

then I restarted cygwin and:

$ /usr/bin/cron-config

...as service? yes
...yourself?   no
...ntsec?      yes
...start ..service? yes

now:

$ cygrunsrv -L
  cron

$ cygrunsrv -Q cron
 Service             : cron
 Display name        : Cron daemon
 Current State       : Running
 Controls Accepted   : Stop
 Command             : /usr/sbin/cron -D

$ crontab -l
 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
 # (/tmp/crontab.300 installed on Sat Oct  8 10:23:16 2005)
 # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41 corinna Exp  $)
 * 10 * * * /bin/date >> /home/micekiller/tmp/date.out 2&1

$ ls -l /home/micekiller/ | grep tmp
 drwxr-xr-x+  2 micekiller     None     0 Oct  8 11:03 tmp

$ ls -l /home/micekiller/tmp
 total 0

grrrr ...does't work!


$ ll /var/log/cron.log
 -rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM root 39 Oct  8 10:31 /var/log/cron.log

$ cat /var/log/cron.log
  [836] cron started
  [1032] cron started


where I'm wrong?  Thanks O.
