I get this in the win app error log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: cron
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 7/21/2003
Time: 2:14:08 AM
User: BILLHOME\Administrator
Computer: BILLHOME
Description:
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. The following
information is part of the event: cron : PID 2276 : starting service `cron'
failed: execv: 0, No error.
While trying to start the service as Administrator (or from LocalSytems
account). I rm'd /var/run/cron.pid and /var/log/cron.log before trying to
start.
Thanks
