Dear Cygwin,
I am eager to use cron to automate scripts running under cygwin 1.3.6-6
on Windows Nt 4 Server. I downloaded it with setup.exe and installed it
with cygrunsrv. I created a file for my user in /var/cron/tabs. I
crontabed it to get things going. I checked to make sure it was running
with ps. I even rebooted the server. Furthermore, I did a crontab -l
and can view the user's entry. However, cron will not launch the
scripts.
Here is an example of my crontab.
0 6 * * * D:/scripta
0 6 * * * D:/scriptb
Is there something I missed? I need to get this running ASAP.
Please advise.
P.S. please include a sample crontab(5) entry with user field.
man pages were not clear on format
Brian Facey
