Hello,
I am trying to get cron to work reliably on my pc (runs Windows XP).
When I type
cygrunsrv -S cron
I get an error message that the service did not respond in a timely
fashion. Looking under services from Control Panel, cron status is
listed as "Starting".
I cannot stop it by using cygrunsrv either.
Known problem, see <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-11/msg00382.html>.
cron was installed using cron-config.
Output of cygcheck -srv is enclosed. /var/log/cron.log has no messages.
There may be messages in the Windows Event Log that could provide a clue
as to what went wrong.
HTH,
Igor
