Hi,
  I just installed a brand new cygwin on my WinXP machine, but I can not get 
cron work for me. Here is how I did it:

  1) "cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a –D"

  2) "crontab -e" to edit the crontab file, here is the dump out,
          $ crontab -l
            # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
            # (/tmp/crontab.2836 installed on Wed Jan  4 10:14:53 2006)
            # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41 
corinna Exp $)
            16 10 * * * linq  rsync -azv emperor:/dev/tools/* 
/cygdrive/c/bin/tools

  3) "cygrunsrv –S cron"

  If I go to "start" -->"Administritive tools" -->"service", I can see that 
cron is started.

  I tried that command in crontab, "rsync -azv emperor:/dev/tools/* 
/cygdrive/c/bin/tools", it works fine if i run it on shell manually.

  Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
