Subject: Can't start cron as a service, I'm getting the Win32 error 1062 message


| Hi there,
| 
| I'm not having any luck starting up cron as a service?  I installed 
| cygwin as a local user, then I ran mkpasswd with -d since I realized 
| that I should have been a domain user instead.  Now, I'm not able start 
| cron as a service.   I am using cron_diagnose.sh to config cron as a 
| service.  After getting the Win32 error 1062 message, it tells me to 
| check the cron.log and cronevents for error messages.  When I check 
| cron.log, I'm only getting the following message:
| 
| cron: unknown option -- n
| usage:  /usr/sbin/cron [-D] [-x debugflag[,...]]

Looks like you are using the old version of cron (3.x)
with the current cron-config
/usr/sbin/cron.exe should be about 37 kB, not 24kB

Pierre
