Hi, I have installed cron-3.0.1-19 within CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.21(0.156/4/2) on my Win XP 5.1.2600 machine. Configured it with recommended settings and attempted to start the service, however the notorious error came up: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. Since have searched for and tried many solutions available on the net, but the same error persists. Here is a run down of what I've tried so far (the reinstallation of the service was performed after each fix was tried). If there is anything that I've missed, I would really appreciate your input. # Used cron_diagnose.sh 1.8 repeatedly until it no longer found any problems. # Edited cron-config: enclosed any relavent lines of code which contain "${USER}" and "$cron_table" in double quotation marks, as these may contain spaces. $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd $ mkpasswd -d -u "$USER" >> /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -l > /etc/group $ mkgroup -d -g "Domain Users" >> /etc/group $ crontab -e $ chgrp "SYSTEM" "/var/cron/tabs/$USER" $ chgrp "SYSTEM" /var/run $ chgrp "SYSTEM" /usr/sbin/cron $ chgrp "SYSTEM" /usr/sbin/sendmail $ chmod 640 "/var/cron/tabs/$USER" $ chmod +x /bin/cygwin1.dll $ rm -R /etc/cron.d $ mkdir /etc/cron.d $ chmod 777 /etc/cron.d # Config $ cron-config // answer: [service: yes; yourslef: no; ntsec: yes] # Reinstall cygrunsrv --stop cron cygrunsrv --remove cron cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D cygrunsrv --start cron # Added SYSTEM to group 544 via the /etc/group # Attempted to delete /var/run/cron.pid, however it DID NOT exist # Attempted to check /var/log/cron.log, , however it DID NOT exist # Checked windows event log it contains the following message each time cron was attempting to start: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: cron: PID 3532: `cron' service stopped, exit status: 128. Attached: crontab.txt and cygcheck.txt Thanks, Dave
