The shell scripts work fine > if invoked from the shell. > The Cygwin distribution of 'cron' includes a shell script named 'cron_diagnose.sh' that you might find useful in locating the source of your problem. Run the following commands at your shell prompt: $ cygcheck -c cron $ cygcheck -l cron The first command will verify that your 'cron' installation is valid, or not. The second command will list the files included in the 'cron' distribution. You can use this list to locate 'cron_diagnose.sh' in your environment. --- -- 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/
