Hi,

I still cannot get home directory of user (/home/user)
when running 
"echo $HOME >> file" in cron. It gives /cygdrive/c. I
checked I have not 
set system environment HOME in w2k. User can run cron
in cygwin and 
telnet to cygwin.

I think the SYSTEM account may define $HOME as
/cygdrive/c implicitly.

1. I would like to get the program listing of cron in
cygwin in order 
to trace & understand how cron is run. Where can i get
it ?

2. Anyone know how to show the variable defined in
SYSTEM account.

3. Where can i get more information about
steps/concepts of switch 
concept for SYSTEM account ?

3. Does cron run profile of user ? 

thanks

bella

Is it not available as source in the cron package that setup installs?
Pop back into setup, find cron in the list, and then circle through your
options to your version and then see if you can check the source column.
