> way I want them to. If I explicitly start cron by calling
> /usr/sbin/cron, then
> my jobs run fine, but my application demands that the
> computer be rebooted

> up after reboot automatically and if I understand correctly, this is
> accomplished by following the instructions in
> cron_diagnose.sh which describe
> how to shutdown the cron service, uninstall it, reinstall it
> and start it.
> Everything works just fine except for starting the service,
> when I run:
> cygrunsrv -S cron. I get this error message:
> cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:
> Win32 error 1062:
> The service has not been started.
>
> After reading through some more posts I have become

> The output from cron_diagnose.sh is:

> This script did not find any errors in your crontab setup.
> If you are still unable to get cron to work, then try

> The following commands will do that:
> $ cygrunsrv --stop cron
> $ cygrunsrv --remove cron
> $ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
> $ cygrunsrv --start cron
