I am running cygwin 1.5.25-15 on a number of sites, most of the Windows XP. I have at least one occasion where I have two identical systems side-by-side, configured the same way (same logons, etc). Both systems run cron as a service installed via cygrunsrv, using the local system account.
One one of the two systems, cron has stopped executing the crontab entries. It lists them in cronevents, then send a mail, which doesn't make it to cron.log, and nothing happens. I have checked everything, accounts, permissions, file access that I know of, yet am unable to find the cause. Can anyone suggest a way of figuring out what is going on? I suspect that cron cannot switch user to the crontab user, yet can find no clue as to why this would be. And it did run earlier, and as far as I know, I have made no significant change. The system reboots every night. The second system configured the same way works just fine.
