Subject: Can't start cron as a service, I'm getting the Win32 error 1062 message
| Hi there,
|
| I'm not having any luck starting up cron as a service? I installed
| cygwin as a local user, then I ran mkpasswd with -d since I realized
| that I should have been a domain user instead. Now, I'm not able start
| cron as a service. I am using cron_diagnose.sh to config cron as a
| service. After getting the Win32 error 1062 message, it tells me to
| check the cron.log and cronevents for error messages. When I check
| cron.log, I'm only getting the following message:
|
| cron: unknown option -- n
| usage: /usr/sbin/cron [-D] [-x debugflag[,...]]
Looks like you are using the old version of cron (3.x)
with the current cron-config
/usr/sbin/cron.exe should be about 37 kB, not 24kB
