I've been using "cron" for more that a few weeks without any problems, until my needs changed. I installed cron as a service using "cygrunsrv". I keep getting errors about creating lockfile. I removed the lockfile but it got created again. At first, I got the Win32 error and ran the cron_diagnose.sh script and got it further along but still nogo. Attached is a copy of "cronbug.txt" as instructed. It is trying to start cron, but cron fails to start as a service. It run perfectly when not a service/ One difference: the service control manager added a "-n" option to my cron command that I did not specify. How can I turn off this feature?? - Paul -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
