cron problem report

[Seiji Tokunaga]

Hi,

I have trouble getting my cron to work. I have tried cron_diagnosis.sh
1.3 but I could not find any problems. I also did the suggestion from
the cron_diagnosis.sh output but it does not work. Here is the crontab
-l, cron_diagnose.sh output and the cygcheck -srv output. Hope you can
help me.

% crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.3928 installed on Mon Mar  1 15:03:19 2004)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.7 2003/04/15 15:13:41 corinna Exp $)
* * * * * `date` >> ${HOME}/foo.log
%

-- output of cron_diganose.sh --
% bin/cron_diagnose.sh
cron_diagnose.sh 1.3

This script did not find any errors in your crontab setup.
If you are still unable to get cron to work, then try
shutting down the cron service, uninstalling it,
reinstalling it, and restarting it.

The following commands will do that:
  $ cygrunsrv --stop cron
  $ cygrunsrv --remove cron
  $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
  $ cygrunsrv --start cron

If the cron service does not start, try deleting the file
/var/run/cron.pid and then repeating the commands above.

If none of this fixes the problem, then report your problem
to cygwin@cygwin.com.  Please include a copy of your crontab,
('crontab -l') and the output of 'cygcheck -srv > cygcheck.txt'.

PLEASE include the generated files 'cygcheck.txt' *as an attachment*,
and NOT in the body of the mail message.
