HOME can be specified in the crontab, else it is taken from /etc/passwd

You may have access issues if HOME is on a network drive.
If so, consider creating a different HOME on a local disk, or running cron as yourself.

Subject: CRON can't cd to HOME


|
| Hello,
| I'm trying to CRON, but I'm receiving error in the windows log saying it
| "can't cd to HOME"; yet cron_diagnose.sh completes without any errors. There
| doesn't seem to be much reference to this error out there, I've tried moving
| home from outside of the cygwin directory to inside and changed permissions
| but that does not seem to help.
|
| Cron service runs as Local System and I'm not sure where it takes the home
| setting from ? changeing it in passwd file doesn't seem to make any
| difference.
