Did you try the email archives?

<http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&btnG=Goog

Reviewing the posts found from the above, I'm guessing that you're using an 
old version of the Cygwin DLL.  If that's not the case and none of the
other 
discussion in the email archives is helpful, please visit 
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> before posting any follow-ups, so this
list can get the information it needs to help you find your problem.
Otherwise, just upgrade.

Subject: cron and crontab problem


I've installed the cron service as described in another message in this 
newsgroup. When I try to start the service though I get the following:

"Could not start the cygwin cron service. The service did not return an 
error. This could be in internal windows error or an internal service 
error"

Also, if I try to edit my crontab file with "crontab -e", when I go to save 
it I get "chown: Invalid argument"

What do I need to do to fix these? TIA
