For some reason the same procedures don't work on a different server. $ net user cron_x password /add /yes $ net localgroup administrators cron_x /add $ editrights -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivelege -u cron_x $ editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivelege -u cron_x $ editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivelege -u cron_x $ editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u cron_x $ mkpassd -l -u cron_x >> /etc/passwd $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u cron_x -w password Each of these commands were completed successfully. But when trying to start cron, no luck. -----Original Message----- From: Pierre A.

Did you use cron-config to configure cron properly? Did you read what /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README says about win2k3?
