Trying to run a crontab in cygwin

Trying to run a crontab in cygwin

[Indrieri, Timothy]

To Whom this may concern,

I am trying to run a .sh file in cygwin. I have followed multiple tutorials. But cannot get the scheduler crontab to run.
Please let me know if there is some step I missed.



Thank you,

I assume you mean the cron scheduler.

have you installed the cron package ?
have you run the cron-config script ?

My understanding is that a cron job can be emulated by using the task
scheduler.
