I downloaded it with setup.exe and installed it with cygrunsrv. I created a file for my user in /var/cron/tabs. I crontabed it to get things going. I checked to make sure it was running with ps. I even rebooted the server. Furthermore, I did a crontab -l and can view the user's entry. However, cron will not launch the scripts. Here is an example of my crontab. 0 6 * * * D:/scripta 0 6 * * * D:/scriptb Is there something I missed? I need to get this running ASAP. Please advise. P.S. please include a sample crontab(5) entry with user field. man pages were not clear on format Brian Facey --------------B0EDD8EFD0E78F2B5F93C481 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ --------------B0EDD8EFD0E78F2B5F93C481--
