Problems with cron

[Jörg Schreiber <Joerg dot Schreiber at Springer dot com>]

Hi,

I've installed cygwin and I'm very pleased with it. Now I want to use
cron to run some kind of backup script where I need the possibilities
of a real shell (not DOS). After installing cron and ssmtp I first got
e-mails from cron. It seems to run, but since I've started cron as a
service (2008/10/17) it didn't work anymore and I don't know what
"can't cd to HOME" means. The HOME environment variable is set and
nothing was changed between 16th and 17th.

Any answer will be helpful.

Best regards

Jörg
