|I am running cygwin 1.5.25-15 on a number of sites, most of the Windows
| XP. I have at least one occasion where I have two identical systems
| side-by-side, configured the same way (same logons, etc). Both systems
| run cron as a service installed via cygrunsrv, using the local system
| account.

1) did you use cron-config to start the cron daemon?
2) are there network drives involved and are they the same on the two systems?
3) do you see cron related files in /tmp?
4) run cronbug and send the file cronbug.txt as an attachment

Pierre
