Please run the attached script. It will check some file permissions and other details that need to be set up properly in order for cron to work. It does NOT change anything on your computer, but only diagnoses. You may need to run it several times until it completes successfully (it will stop any time it finds a problem and report to you what problem needs to be corrected). > -----Original Message----- > From: Chuck [mailto:chuckh@softhome.net] > Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2003 9:27 AM > To: cygwin@cygwin.com > Subject: crontab error > > > I need a little help getting cron to work.
