Thank you all for your help. We pursued all that was recommended and still ran into the error: cron : PID 3784 : starting service `cron' failed: execv: 128, Transport endpoint is not connected. Since invoking it command line was successful we put a wrapper in place that executes cron and added the wrapper as a service. cron is now working. For the issue where crontab assumes that SYSTEM is the owner of the cron service and leaves the contents of the /var/cron/tabs as 640 with a group of SYSTEM we also created a wrapper that changes the permission to 644. Here is the detail of what we have put into place and provided to the release engineer: overview: - create local user called 'svccron' - set up permissions for local user - create wrappers for cron/crontab - add wrapped cron as service - set up schedules execute the following within a bash shell: - create local user called 'svccron' net user svccron <passwd> /add /yes net localgroup <administrators_group_name> svccron /add editrights -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege -u svccron editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege -u svccron editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege -u svccron editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u svccron mkpasswd -l -u svccron >> /etc/passwd for security reasons: editrights -a SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight -u svccron editrights -a SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u svccron editrights -a SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight -u svccron - create wrapper for cron - attached 'xcron'/contents below - install in /usr/sbin - change permissions for xcron $ chmod 744 /usr/sbin/xcron $ cat /usr/sbin/xcron #!/usr/bin/bash /usr/sbin/cron -D $ ls -l /usr/sbin/xcron -rwxr-xr-x 1 devadm Domain U 34 Sep 10 14:03 /usr/sbin/xcron - create wrapper for crontab - attached 'xcrontab'/contents below - install in /usr/bin - change permissions for xcrontab $ chmod 744 /usr/bin/xcrontab $ cat /usr/bin/xcrontab #!/usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/crontab $@; xval=$?; chmod 644 /var/cron/tabs/$USER; exit $xval; $ ls -l /usr/bin/xcrontab -rwxr-xr-x 1 devadm Domain U 90 Sep 10 13:58 /usr/bin/xcrontab - add wrapped cron as service $ cygrunsrv -I xcron -p /usr/sbin/xcron -a -u svccron -w <passwd> - execute following as user for which tasks need to be scheduled $ xcrontab -e - for details $ man 5 crontab Regards, Paul J.
