I have run into the same cron problem as desribed below, but I have no clue 
how to go about inplementing the solution.  I've used cygwin for about a 
year now, but I still consider myself a beginner. Can anyone help me turn 
off Application Event Logging for my cron jobs?

Thank you,

-Tony

Ooops, sorry , that's no good advice. There are defines in the cron
sources which handle that. By default SYSLOG is defined in config.h
and LOG_FILE is _not_ defined in pathnames.h. If you undef SYSLOG,
no log is created at all. If you undef SYSLOG and define LOG_FILE,
only a log file is maintained. If both are defined, both log methods
are used concurrently.
