Please check your C:\WINNT40 for other utilities, such as 'cron.exe'. Consider deleting these programs, or moving them to another directory in your PATH. 3. Please examine your /var/log/cron.log to see if it provides any useful messages. 4. Please provide a copy of your crontab: $ crontab -l > crontab.txt 5. Run the following command to check your cygwin packages: $ cygcheck -c | fgrep Incomplete If any packages are listed, then consider running 'setup.exe' and selecting the 'Reinstall' option. Also, at some point, consider the possibility of converting your C drive's file system from FAT to NTFS, if doing that conversion won't cause other problems. Windows provides the 'convert' command for this purpose. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
