RE: Cron on Cygwin
You should run the cron-config script instead of trying to do it yourself. There's more to it than this. See also cron_diagnose.sh. Should this be documented in c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README? I did not see it there. Whoa! It is there. I'm not in the habbit of looking thru change lists for installation procedures. Should I be? Is this typical of the cygwin documentation? I was expecting a header like INSTALLATION PROCEDURE followed by steps 1, 2, 3...
