cron not working on 2003 Server


 
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I have several working cygwin installations but this problem is new
to me. My cron is not working at all. Just as if the service was not
running. Here is the crontab -l output:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILTO=root

*       *       *       *       *       /usr/bin/echo bla
>/home/Administrator/fasel.txt

In /etc/passwd I renamed Administrator to root. Of course fasel.txt
is never created. That would have been to easy. Cron is installed as
a Windows Service and is running under SYSTEM. /home/Administrator is
linked to /home/root

/var/log/cron.log is not showing anything interesting:
[3996] cron started
[3600] cron started
[3276] cron started

One thing is funny though. Cron.log states the pid is 3276 but a ps
- -efW | grep cron yields 

#       0    1516       0   ?  14:20:15 C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\cron.exe


Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
  JP
