Does the Windows Scheduling service need to be stopped? Are my permissions (Administrator(u) None (g)) wrong on my crontab file (user is Administrator)? Do I need System permission to be successful? If you also have an /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d/crontab file, are there problems? Does cron look first to the user's crontab, then /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d crontab? Please advise. It is critical that I get crontab to work. I must perform a wget daily.
