How did you do that? Did you follow a howto article or dsomething? I need to install sendmail also but from what I have read, sendmail doesn’t work on cygwin... I get this: The owner and the Administrators need to have ..x permission to /usr/sbin/sendmail. Here are the current permissions: ls: /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory Any help you can provide to help me install sendmail would be greatly appreciated Regards, NPEreira >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I've configured cron using cron-config running as a service with the SERVICE account and as a service with myself.  Initially, I created a crontab to run an rsync backup, which never initiated.  I then opted for something simple and obvious, sending the date to a file.  I've attached my log, crontab and the cygcheck.  I've verified that the service is running (under XP) and that cron is running.  ____________ Roger Davies PeopleSoft HRMS 970.506.7750 Important Notice: The contents of this electronic message and any attachments are intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential and privileged information.
