Hello, Larry,

I'm getting this message in the Event Log for cron kicking off...

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( /usr/sbin/cron ) cannot 
be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry 
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote 
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this 
description; see Help and Support for details. The following information 
is part of the event: /usr/sbin/cron: PID 2160: (Administrator) CMD 
(/cygdrive/c/scripts/xfer_nab_csnab.sh).

Does it mean anything?

Thanks for your time and assistance...

Blaine
