Then stty can change EOF to some other sequence. I recieved some advice about not having a network drive attached to the profile I was logging into so I uninstalled cygwin and installed it with an account that does not have a network share included with the login. After this I setup cron using cron-config. I selected yes to netsec if that is okay. I have a general idea of what netsec is but don't know how it pertains to this problem. Is this what all of you guys are saying this file should look like? sys-scheduler AT backup / $ more cronmail.sh cat > /cronmail.txt I keep getting this in the eventvwr: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( /usr/sbin/cron ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: /usr/sbin/cron: PID 2624: (sys-scheduler) RELOAD (tabs/sys-scheduler). My crontab looks like this: 5 * * * * /croncheckscript.sh The croncheckscript.sh looks like this: sys-scheduler AT backup / $ more croncheckscript.sh echo are_you_working >> cronoutput.out My Permsiions look like this and this :-[ thing still wont' work? sys-scheduler AT backup / $ ls -al total 13 drwxrwx---+ 11 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 0 Mar 17 00:28 . drwxrwx---+ 11 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 0 Mar 17 00:28 .. drwxrwx---+ 2 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 0 Mar 16 23:50 bin -rwxrwxrwx 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 0 Mar 17 00:20 croncheckscript.out -rwxrwxrwx 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 40 Mar 17 00:04 croncheckscript.sh -rwxrwxrwx 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 20 Mar 17 00:28 cronmail.sh -rwxrwxrwx 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 3 Mar 17 00:27 cronmail.txt -rwxrwxrwx 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 32 Mar 17 00:31 cronoutput.out dr-xr-xr-x 1 0 root 0 Dec 31 1969 cygdrive -rwxr-x---+ 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 70 Mar 16 23:52 cygwin.bat -rwxr-x---+ 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 7022 Mar 16 23:52 cygwin.ico drwxrwx---+ 34 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 0 Mar 16 23:57 etc The link is: sys-scheduler AT backup /usr/sbin $ ls -al | grep sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 sys-scheduler mkgroup-l-d 12 Mar 17 00:03 sendmail -> /cronmail.sh -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
