It doesn't work for me. I got the same error message. Following
is what I did and what I got.
First, I run cron in a cygwin bash shell window
$ cron
or
$ cron -D
It is OK. Then I test it by issuing
$ crontab -l
What I get is an error message in the cygwin window:
BASH: /usr/local/bin/crontab: Permission denied
and a message in a small window:
Error Starting Program
The CRONTAB.EXE file is
linked to missing export NETAPI32.DLL: NetUserChangePassword.
I don't understand this message and have no clue how to deal with it.
Is there anything wrong in my use of cron/crontab or it should not be
used with win98 at all? Any hints?
Paul.
