Hi,
  I just installed lastest cygwin on windows xp service pack 1.

  I enabled cron in cygwin, the crontab looks like this,

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.3548 installed on Wed Oct  4 19:11:00 2006)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41 corinna Exp $)

HOME=/cygdrive/c/home/toma
HOMEDRIVE=C:
UID=toma
12 19 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -azvv /cygdrive/u/ /cygdrive/c/bin/swtools > 
/tmp/swtools.cron 2>&1


  But it does not work, I check the log file, it is like this,

building file list ...
rsync: link_stat "/cygdrive/u/." failed: No such file or directory (2)
done

  It looks like it can not work with path like /cygdrive/u, this is a 
network drive.

  The problem is I can run the exact command in command line.

  Do you know why cron make difference on the path?
