Re: crontab -e problem


Ok, I've upgraded to the latest cron-3.0.1-6 but am still receiving the same message.

Any ideas?  

Thanks!

Hello, all.

Thanks for the hard work on Cygwin.

I updated to the latest versions on 6/25 and now I cannot edit my crontab.  I've looked at the mail list but don't see anything related exactly.  

I receive the following messages:

$ crontab -e
crontab: installing new crontab
chown: Invalid argument
crontab: edits left in /tmp/crontab.389

I'd appreciate any help. I'm certain I've missed something.  Please copy me on reply's as I am not a member of the list.....
