Subject: cron and Windows 2000


| Hi all,
| 
| I recently updated cygwin on a Windows 2000 server box and I am now 
| getting errors when running cron. It is the famous, "can't switch user 
| context" message that I've seen a lot of posts about. The issue is that I 
| am not running Windows 2003 server, but rather Windows 2000 server. 
| Cygwin has been installed for 'all to run', and the cron jobs are/were 
| created by user, "Administrator".

Did you run cron-config to try to take care of the issue?
And you can always run cron as yourself.

Pierre
