cron as service problem with OLE application

[jmadams at monkeybean dot dyndns dot org (John M. Adams)]

Dear Friends,

I have this odd problem with the latest cron.  cron_diagnose seems to
think everything is fine.  I followed the instruction for reinstalling
cron as a service.  The service is set to interact with desktop.

I want to run a perl (non-cygwin) script that starts a gui application
and manipulates it via an OLE interface.  The application is for
downloading financial data (CSI UA).

When cron is running as a service, the application starts, the GUI
comes up, but it does not start the update (as requested via OLE).

If I start cron from a shell.  The application works as expected.

Any clues?

Thanks a lot.
