Hi
This is a very simple patch for Cron to allow one to use a shell like
powershell or cmd. I've done some testing and it appears to work well.
I simply introduce a new environment variable called SHELLSWICTH that
defaults to -c if not used. Otherwise, one can set it to /c or
-Command
?

I have been trying for a while to get cron working for cygwin on a windows 2003
Server, but to no avail. When I run cron-config, cron_diagnose states:
... no problem found.
INFO: A cron daemon is already running.
I have a cron.log file in /var/log, however it is empty. Also, the contents
run. Here is the output of my crontab
-l (Both of these command work fine if run from the command line).
The problem is right there in your log:
2008/05/30 13:37:01 [lumcon] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 1424: (lumcon) BAD FILE
MODE (tabs/lumcon)
cron won't run jobs from a tab that is world-writable
Thanks for the info, however, I'm a bit confused. In cronbug it states that
the permissions are:
-rwxrwx--- 1 lumcon mkgroup-l-d 244 May 30 14:45 /var/cron/tabs/lumcon
However, when I run a ls -al I get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 lumcon mkgroup-l-d 244 May 30 14:45 /var/cron/tabs/lumcon
How/why

Cron works on other scripts but not with a perl script. If it's the
environment (we are running korn instead of the bash default), it
might be good to create a wrapper script in korn shell.
perl often needs a rebaseall run to function at its best.
Does cron use bash default profile

Do you have cron working? Verify it with a simple command, such as 'touch'.
If that works, try a Perl one

Very strange. The cron.log file is still empty though. cron-config says no
