On most cron works. But on one (lemon) it does not. It appears that on lemon cron cannot switch the user context. Cronevents on lemon shows: 2010/04/15 17:19:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 656: (tschutter) CMD (/usr/bin/python /cygdrive/f/production-sync/production-sync.py) 2010/04/15 17:19:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 656: (CRON) error (can't switch user context) /var/log/cron.log is empty on all machines. The cron daemon is running as SYSTEM on all machines. cyglsa is running on all machines. cygserver is not running on any machine. I have rerun cron-config, rebooted, etc. I have searched the net, but most solutions seem to involve Cygwin 1.5 and no cyglsa. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- Tom Schutter First American Spatial Solutions 303-440-7272 x6822 512-977-6822 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
