No, I didn't know this was the preferred method of installing cron as a service. I've been installing/reinstalling everything from the cygwin *setup.exe*. I've looked at the log files and they seem pretty unremarkable. I'll run cronbug after I try the cron-config command. Thanks very much for your time and support... Blaine Pierre A.
