Hello Robert,
I think I have the same problem you had executing crontabs?. (W2k3 server)
I was searching the archives and the net for any solution to this.
Basically I followed all the threads and tried:
1. Cron under System Account -> Context switch problem
2. Cron under a ?cron_server? account with appropriate rights
(openssh.README etc):
?net user cron_server <passwd> /add /yes
? net localgroup <administrators_group_name> cron_server /add
? editrights -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege -u cron_server
? editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege -u cron_server
? editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege -u cron_server
? editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u cron_server
? mkpasswd -l -u cron_server >> /etc/passwd
For security reasons:
? editrights -a SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight -u cron_server
? editrights -a SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u cron_server
? editrights -a SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight -u cron_server
give "cron_server" permission to write on the "/var/run/cron.pid" and
"/var/log/cron.log"
????????
And then create a cron service using that account:
? cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u cron_server -w <passwd>
????? I gave all appropriate user rights? nothing. The server cannot be
started, neither by command line nor by ?services??
Did you finally find a solution for this issue or at least a hint ? like
you, this is driving me nuts?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance,
Sebastian
