I have | started the cron service by running the script usr/bin/cron-config. | | cron_diagnose.sh reports zero errors. ps -a shows cron service being started. | | I have attached the output from crontab -l and cygcheck -srv to this mail. | Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Can you describe what the problem is? If your cron job doesn't run, how do you know it doesn't? 20 15 * * * mean 3:20 PM every day, which doesn't match the comments in the crontab. What are the cron related entries in the Windows event log? Are there /home/regression/cron.log file and/or /tmp/cron-XXX files with useful info?
