I'm running cron as a service. Twice this week this server has died and
needed cold rebooting to get the system back.
Questions - First, will cron as a service on a Windows 2003 R2, standard
system cause this sort of behavior?
Second, if it does, how do I run cron to keep it from
doing this?
A snippet of the errors I'm getting are:
cron: unknown option -- D
usage: /usr/sbin/cron [-n] [-x [ext,sch,proc,pars,load,misc,test,bit]]
My crontable is:
$ crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.yRr11boUdm installed on Thu Aug 19 14:17:23 2010)
# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie

As you can see, I'm not passing any paramets to the cron daemon...
???
Thanks for your time and assistance...
