Whatever I try, it always gives the same error: //root@W2KPICASSO /cygdrive/g $ env | grep CYGWIN CYGWIN=tty ntsec binmode $ cygrunsrv --stop cron && cygrunsrv --remove cron With env -a "-D -e CYGWIN=\"tty ntsec binmode\"" $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a "-D -e CYGWIN=\"tty ntsec binmode\"" && cygrunsrv --start cron cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. With quotes -a "-D" $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a "-D" && cygrunsrv --start cron cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. Without quotes -a -D $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D && cygrunsrv --start cron cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. Without -a -D $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron && cygrunsrv --start cron cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. Event log says: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: cron : Win32 Process Id = 0x214 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x214 : starting service `cron' failed: execv: 255, error 0. Any more ideas are welcome, how can I help to debug this?
