CYGWIN_NT-5.2 hal 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-11-10 08:34 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
Logged in as Administrator I have installed the cron service with:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a '-D' -e CYGWIN="tty ntsec
binmode" -d "CYGWIN cron"
The process is running, but my cron jobs for Administrator are not being
run.
I have changed the group for /var/run and /etc/cron.d to 18 (SYSTEM) and
both directories have 1777 permissions. I also have setup a simple test
to run every minute to see if it's working:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/home/Administrator/test.txt installed on Thu Jan 20 17:44:39 2005)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41 corinna Exp $)
* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /home/Administrator/test.log
I'm guessing it's a permissions problem or some Windows user related
issue. Any help in figuring this out is appreciated. I have attached
the cygcheck results as requested by the cron_diagnose.sh script I've
been using to figure out what's going on. Thanks.
