I cannot see the source of your problem from
the cygcheck listing. However, you are
running a Windows .NET server. I do not know
what effect that might have on cron.
Please run the attached cron_diagnose.sh
script. It is the latest version. I would
like for you to eliminate the possibility
that you ran an earlier version.
