Thanks Igor. I already uninstalled crons and did this cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D cygrunsrv -S cron
I put a simple script in there like this 51 * * * * /tmp/doit.sh ran crontab `cat the above file` crontab -l yields above net stop cron net start cron < i realize this may not be required, but I am trying everything before writing > doit.sh is #!/bin/bash PATH=/usr/bin:/bin echo OK > /tmp/OK at 52 minutes no /tmp/OK file /var/log/cron.log just says cron started How can I troubleshoot this ? I really need it to work or I have to write my program in f*cking vbscript, which I hate.
