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 before posting any follow-ups, so this list can get the information it needs to help you find your problem. Otherwise, just upgrade. Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Chuck chuckh@softhome.net Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 19:04:08 +0000 (UTC) To: cygwin@cygwin.com 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?
