| 
| Hi I have been having similar problems with running cron on through cygwin. 
| 
| Here is what I have done so far:
| 
| 1) created a simple shell file <create_new_dir.sh>
| 
<snip>| 
| 5) checked the /var/log/cron and here is what it said
| 
| unable to set groups for myusername
| 
| 
| Any thoughts?
****************
1) was cron installed with cron-config ?
2) run "cronbug" and send us the output (attach)
3) the message indicates a failure in setgrp or initgroups. That's unusual.
    Is your /etc/group up to date?

Pierre
