Doesn't seem to be running anything in the crontab.  I had wanted to run a Perl script in a Windows Directory outside the cygwin structure but using the /cygdrive/c etc path.  Ain't working.  Even tried the simplest thing I could think of and created a line date > dt.txt on it.  Normally, under *nix this  would put the results of date in dt.txt in the home directory.  Not there. Just isn't running anything as far as I can tell. Any suggestions.  I'd like to get this working.  Want am I missing? Help  appreciated.  Thank you -- Chris Johnson rchristopherjohnson AT gmail DOT com Ex SysAdmin, now, writer /The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. /(Buffy, the vampire slayer EOS 5) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
