Hi,

Before I start, I would like to inform that, I went through all FAQs and
other threads before posting here.
I came across this thread where I faced the similar error, but couldn't get
what they did to resolve it.

http://www.nabble.com/1.5.21-1%3AWindows-2003-Server---Cygwin-Cron-tf2425192.html#a6972241

I 'm trying to schedule a shell script on cygwin using cron. No matter what
I do I don't seem to get the cron job executing my bash script.

My script is temp.sh

echo `date` > /home/test/temp.log

crontab -e is having the following details

* * * * * sh /home/test/temp.sh > /home/test/temp.sh.err 2>&1

I did use the paths in the script itself and I also used the windows path
where the cygwin installed(/cygdrive/d/cygwin/).

I also tried using the following by editing the crontab:

* * * * * date > /home/test/date.txt

Still not working. I don't have administrator login. I ran the
cron_diagnose.sh and it din't give me any errors.

What am I doing wrong? Please help I 'm a newbie to Cygwin.

Thanks
Shash
