Re: cron fails to start as a service in Win2k3R2 64bit
Pierre, I'm trying it now. No, I didn't know this was the preferred method of installing cron as a service. I've been installing/reinstalling everything from the cygwin *setup.exe*. I've looked at the log files and they seem pretty unremarkable. I'll run cronbug after I try the cron-config command. Thanks very much for your time and support... Blaine Pierre A.

OK, I see that you are running cron as yourself (Administrator). The problem is that you have several cron running, probably from the time when you were running cron manually 2116 1 2116 2116 ? 500 13:49:24 /usr/sbin/cron I 3664 2116 2116 3664 ? 500 05:00:01 /usr/sbin/cron I 3896 2116 2116 3896 ? 500 05:00:01 /usr/sbin/cron I 3464 2116 2116 3464 ? 500 06:00:01 /usr/sbin/cron Kill them all and run cron-config again, keeping (not removing) the existing service.
