crontab is not executed


hi,

i have no clue why cygrunsrv wont execute cron, i posted some time ago
and someone suggested that i run cron-config with set -x. the output is
attached.
also the output from cronbug is at the end of the mail

the cronbug.txt shows that earlier cronjobs did in fact run, but im
unsure if they might be log entries from a previous cygwin64bit
installation (im now running a 32bit cygwin environment)
futher down the one can only see that i edited the crontab quite some
time for testing, but nothing works.

with this:
+ ls -alh /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 14354s None 16 Feb  1 18:38 /usr/sbin/sendmail ->
/usr/bin/cronlog

i was expecting cron error output in ~/cron.log
but the file is never created

my test cronjob looks like this:
48 18 * * * /usr/bin/echo "lala"

this one im expecting to run at 18:48, but it doesnt



sending this mail including the output from cron-config while set -x was
enabled wasnt possible, got refused because of spam back. ive pasted the
output from cron-config here:
https://paste8.com/XUZj6j9U

that link also includes cronbug.txt

any ideas?
