( Originally as the user WinAdmin. ) I'm running a call processing application on user "Call Processing". I created a cron entry with crontab -e, from the cygwin prompt as the user "TC". (logged into Windows as "TC") The cron entry fires an application meant to interact with "TC"'s desktop. ( I did cygrunsrv -E cron; added the tick to interact with the desktop under the cron service's properties; applied changes; and then cygrunsrv -S cron ) ... the cron entry creates a text file every time it fires. So... when the text file is created, the application does not appear to run. However, when switching users, I find it interacting with "Call Processing"'s desktop. This is consistent. Three users logged in, "TC's" cron event fires (creating the text file under TC's path), and the application is running on "Call Processing"'s desktop. /var/log/cron.log offers no clues. /usr/bin/cronevents.exe doesn't either. /var/log/cygserver.log is empty. Please help. :) cygcheck: Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Mon Oct 01 13:41:22 2007 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Path: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin c:\WINDOWS\system32 c:\WINDOWS c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem c:\Python22 c:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: 1009(Triton Connect) GID: 513(None) 0(root) 513(None) 544(Administrators) 545(Users) Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: 1009(Triton Connect) GID: 513(None) 0(root) 513(None) 544(Administrators) 545(Users) SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\system32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS USER = 'Triton Connect' PWD = '/home/Triton Connect' HOME = '/home/Triton Connect' MAKE_MODE = 'unix' HOMEPATH = '\Documents and Settings\Triton Connect' MANPATH = '/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man::/usr/ssl/man' APPDATA = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Triton Connect\Application Data' HOSTNAME = 'Stat' TERM = 'cygwin' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = 'x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 9, GenuineIntel' WINDIR = 'C:\WINDOWS' OLDPWD = '/usr/bin' USERDOMAIN = 'STAT' OS = 'Windows_NT' ALLUSERSPROFILE = 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' !:: = '::\' TEMP = '/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/TRITON~1/LOCALS~1/Temp' COMMONPROGRAMFILES = 'C:\Program Files\Common Files' USERNAME = 'Triton Connect' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = '15' FP_NO_HOST_CHECK = 'NO' SYSTEMDRIVE = 'C:' EDITOR = 'nano' USERPROFILE = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Triton Connect' PS1 = '\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ ' LOGONSERVER = '\\STAT' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = 'x86' !C: = 'C:\cygwin\bin' SHLVL = '1' PATHEXT = '.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' HOMEDRIVE = 'C:' PROMPT = '$P$G' COMSPEC = 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' TMP = '/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/TRITON~1/LOCALS~1/Temp' SYSTEMROOT = 'C:\WINDOWS' PRINTER = 'Auto Samsung ML-1710 Series on ECHO' CVS_RSH = '/bin/ssh' PROCESSOR_REVISION = '0409' INFOPATH = '/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info:' PROGRAMFILES = 'C:\Program Files' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = '1' SESSIONNAME = 'Console' COMPUTERNAME = 'STAT' SONICCENTRAL = 'c:\Program Files\Common Files\Sonic Shared\Sonic Central\' _ = '/usr/bin/cygcheck' POSIXLY_CORRECT = '1' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = '/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x00000022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = 'C:\cygwin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = 'C:\cygwin/bin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = 'C:\cygwin/lib' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options c: hd NTFS 28929Mb 37% CP CS UN PA FC HP_PAVILION d: hd FAT32 9215Mb 57% CP UN HP_RECOVERY e: cd N/A N/A C:\cygwin / system binmode C:\cygwin/bin /usr/bin system binmode C:\cygwin/lib /usr/lib system binmode . /cygdrive system binmode,cygdrive Found: C:\cygwin\bin\awk.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe Not Found: cpp (good!)
