Any help would be appreciated. My personal favorite way is to use Cygwin (http://cygwin.com/) which comes with perl and a whole bunch of other OpenSource software including services such as cron, sshd, rsh, apache. To register cron as a service, type this: cygrunsrv.exe -I crond -p /usr/sbin/cron.exe -a '-D' -e CYGWIN=ntsec To start the cron service, type this: cygrunsrv.exe -S crond To stop the cron service, type this: cygrunsrv.exe -E crond To begin to use it, type crontab -e.
