Chronic Cron

[zzapper]

Hi
Cron must be close to being the number one problem in this NG.

I've run Mark's latest cron_diagnose.sh which always reports OK

I then obey:-
  $ cygrunsrv --stop cron
  $ cygrunsrv --remove cron
  $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
  $ cygrunsrv --start cron

The first 3 are OK but  I get 
>cygrunsrv --start cron
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error
1062: The service has not been started.

I can't get cron to run from the prompt (many manage this).

I've checked mounts, /etc/passwd etc

HAS ANYONE GOT PAST ALL THIS?
