I thought I had everything setup correctly to run cron jobs.
I can not get anything I put in crontab -e to run.
I've attached my cygcheck.out. If someone can give me some ideas I
would much appreciate it.
It's always important to say *how* something doesn't work for you when you're
having problems. Making people guess what the problem is tends to be a quick
route to the email trash bin. Here's an idea. Try the following:
* * * * * /bin/echo "hello world" >/tmp/out
If that doesn't work, provide some details. From what I can tell, your
configuration looks OK.
