Well, I confirmed what I needed for the mounts was octal \040, so a sample mount with a space would read: /dev/device /mnt/dir\040with\040spaces/ ext4 default 0 0 and would mount under directory /mnt/dir with spaces/ correctly, but so far I've been unable to get that working in cygwin's cron however, to turn on full debugging of the cron daemon to /var/log/cron.log, changing the service registry value for AppArgs from "-n" to "-n -x ext,sch,proc,pars,load,misc,test,bit" should give you every scrap of logging available I don't know if the failure on my machine is that it's corporate policy controlled or I did something wrong or that cron doesn't use \040 in the same way my mount test does. -- Erik -- "I do not think any of us are truly sane, Caleb.
