Ok, sorry I wasn't sure what information was required. ls -ln reveals that the file is owned by Administrator (uid=500). Are there any sources of information of name aliasing that you mention? cygcheck.out is attached. Also, $UID, $USER, $USERNAME are all undefined under cron, though I think this is the expected behavior. Jeremy On Wed, 22 Oct 2003, Pierre A.
