Hello,
I'm attempting to install cron on a Windows 2003 machine and am somewhat
Unix challanged. Is there a documented procedure that works somewhere. It
seems that there are tons of posts out relating to this but they all seem
to offer different information. :o) I was wondering if anybody has had any
luck actually getting cron to work on a w3k machine. If possible I would
like to run the service with a Network login if not a local admin would
work...
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README
I used that and it worked I have installed the service as a network
user | logged in as that user and created this crontab file but it
doesn't run. The file runs okay from command prompt but not from the
crontab file?
I assume you used cron-config
Does "ps -a" show cron running, and as the privileged user you created?
How do you know the file doesn't run?
1 * * * * /time.bash > /dev/null 2>&1
In my reading I gathered that this was a way to get around intalling a
mail client.
It's surely safer to just put
MAILTO=""
in your cron file

I finally got it to work I wanted to thank you for attempting to help
me...
