RE: Cron Running As UID 400

Pierre, Somehow the permissions on my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files only gave read permission to my account not SYSTEM. Perhaps cron_diagnose.sh can be updated to incorporate this checkpoint, i.e., that passwd and group in /etc are readable by everyone. Thanks for your help, Pierre. Now cro

Pierre, Windows Task Manager reports the user as SYSTEM for all cygrunsrv processes and their children (cron, inetd, etc.). Interestingly enough, I regenerated the /etc/passwd entry for my user login on my Windows XP Pro box at work and the UID field changed from what it was before (after I sent

I can say that is not what is happening (because it would not be using any CPU if it were waiting for input), but I will humour you the next time I see it freeze. I have (once) had that happen (make waiting for input that is), but I never thought of hitting ^D. The funny thing is I don't get fr

Re: Cron Running As UID 400

Wayne, The only reason why a Cygwin process runs with uid 400 is that its SID was not found in /etc/passwd when first starting from Windows (you can observe that by temporarily renaming /etc/passwd and starting a fresh Cygwin process). It's stange that this happens only for one cygrunsrv process

Mark, Thanks for your quick reply. I'm sorry that I had neglected to mention that I had already run the cron_diagnose.sh script and it reported that no problems were found; I ran it again just now as a sanity check and still no problems found. I did try uninstalling/reinstalling the cron service

I can verify this behaviour for Cygwin 1.5.7 and NT emacs 21.3. Judging by the lack of response on the list, I suspect this is something you will have to chase down yourself if this is a big problem for you. > -Original Message- > > David S. > Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 4:18 PM > Su
