Hello,
I'm attempting to setup crontab on a windows 2003 box and am having 
problems getting the jobs to run. I have tried running the service as a 
local administrater and domain admin and the service starts and stops 
and then tells me that "some services will only start when needed". I 
have tested the file (test.bash) from the command line and it runs the 
way it is supposed to. So I know the file is okay. Here is a copy of my 
crontab file:

# min   hour    day (1-31) Month (1-12) day of week (0 -6)
1       15      *       *       *       /test.bash &

I checked the cygwin user guide and found nothing about setting up the 
crontab service. Is there any place were these kindof instructions are 
located? If you have any suggestions please let me know!

Thanks!
Kevin M
