Hi,
I manage to launch the cron service using :
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
cygrunsrv -S cron
If I type "ps -e", I can see that the cron process is running.
Using "crontab -e", I set up a call to a script that prints "hello" in a log
file. This script works pretty well on the command-line. But nothing happens
from the cron !!! Of course my crontab setting is correct (I'm quite
familiar with Unix stuff).
A "man cron" tells that cron is looking in /var/spool/cron/tabs for crontab
files but on my system (Win2K professionnal) this directory does not exist
!! Indeed, my crontab files are generated in /var/cron/tabs !
I need help.
Best regards.
Karim Jouhari
