> Hi,

> I have trouble getting my cron to work. I have tried cron_diagnosis.sh

> -l, cron_diagnose.sh output and the cygcheck -srv output. Hope you can
> help me.

>   $ cygrunsrv --remove cron
>   $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
>   $ cygrunsrv --start cron
> 
> If the cron service does not start, try deleting the file
> /var/run/cron.pid and then repeating the commands above.

> If none of this fixes the problem, then report your problem
