'cron-config' installs 'cron' without the -i flag. However, I need the -i flag for some of my cron jobs. If I install cron without -i, it stops using: cygrunsrv -E cron If I install cron with -i, it fails to stop.

No. Just one. I listed all services (cygserver and cron) for completeness. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
