Attached is the cygcheck when run by service_cron.
Also, when we run the tasks as service_cron via command line the only error we're seeing is: cron : PID 2112 : (cdaapp) CAN'T OPEN (tabs/cdaapp), but if we're try starting the cron service we still get the error: cron : PID 3784 : starting service `cron' failed: execv: 128, Transport endpoint is not connected.
Igor recommended adding service_cron to the System group, but that group doesn't exist in the Windows environment (or at least I couldn't find it). Any suggestions as to how to do this if it is possible in the Windows env.? Currently the service_cron user is part of the Administrators, Users, and Terminal Service Users groups.
Thank you very much,

Looks ok, but see below for permissions issues.

Hmm, can you log in as service_cron and try running the cron service command ("/usr/sbin/cron -D") and "cygcheck -svr" from the command line? That would help answer a few questions...

Again, you need to run this task as service_cron to get a meaningful result.

But the service started, which shows that it *might* be a permissions issue. Besides checking the applications, check all the relevant directories, and make sure service_cron has the execute permission on them (which will allow it to enter the directories and access the files in them), and the write permission to any directory where it needs to create files.

How about "ls -ld /bin /usr/sbin /var/log/cda"?
> /var/cron/tabs seems locked down
Actually, since you've started cron as different users, it's possible that SYSTEM owns some of the files, and service_cron has no access to them (see, for example, /var/cron/tabs/cdapp). This *may* be a bug in the crontab application (i.e., it may assume that SYSTEM will be the user running cron).

You may need to add service_cron to the SYSTEM group...

This file will be unreadable to a service running as service_cron, even if you manage to get it started.

In the future, please *attach* the output of "cygcheck -svr" as an uncompressed text attachment, instead of including it inline.

Probably not related to your problem, but why not upgrade to 1.5.11?
BTW, your /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries look ok. Igor
