- Subject: Cron Won't Run Jobs
I installed CYGWIN yesterday, and am having trouble getting cron to work.
My cron job, set to run every minute, does not execute.
I have read through the archives, and below is relevant data.
I would appreciate any advice on what to try next
chmod 1777 /var/cron
chmod 1777 /var/cron/tabs
cygrunsrv -E cron
cygrunsrv -R cron
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -e "CYGWIN=tty ntsec"
cygrunsrv -S cron
This is what the process list looks like:
/var/cron > ps -ef
UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND
buck 395 1 con 08:36:06 /usr/bin/bash
SYSTEM 392 1 ? 08:40:54 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
SYSTEM 350 392 ? 08:40:54 /usr/sbin/cron
buck 63 395 con 08:48:11 /usr/bin/ps
This is /etc/group
/var/cron > cat /etc/group
