revisiting: windows .lnk working in cygwin; theoretical solution

I'm not saying all the pieces of this puzzle are in place yet, but supporting it could be done in a way as to minimize impact to existing "dumb apps", and future "extended-attribute-aware apps". I'm not suggesting anyone run off and implement this immediately, though that could be done and compat

I want to set up a cron job to execute a perl script every day at 4am. I have successfully set up the job so that it will execute the script, the only problem is the script can take a long time to finish, as it does many different tasks. The problem is that after about 1 minute, the script will ju
