It is probably a permission/access sync issue between Cygwin and NT. But my case is NOT a network drive. Case 1, crontab -e [ logged in as Administrator ] 20 12 * * * /home/Administrator/mydate.sh [ my own script to exec ] ----- it works with the result written in my home directory. mydate.sh is `date >mydate.txt` Case 2, crontab -e [ logged in as Administrator ] 25 12 * * * /cygdrive/e/otherpath/mydate.sh [ my second script to exec ] ------------- this does not work. My Error message in Eventlog is: bla .. bla .. /usr/sbin/cron : PID 2356 : (Administrator) CMD (/cygdrive/e/otherpath/mydate.sh 2>&1) The access permissions for both shell scripts are identical. The only difference is the path to execute. If I install the service as Administrator, and try to start it with the Service Control Manager it fails to start and I get the error message in the Event Log: ... bla bla .. Cygwin_cron : PID 2260 : starting service 'Cygwin_cron' failed : execv: 1 , Operation not permitted.
