Interesting: $ ll /bin/cygwin1.dll -rwxr-x---+ 1 Andrew Users 967522 Sep 1 10:16 /bin/cygwin1.dll* $ chmod +x /bin/cygwin1.dll $ ll /bin/cygwin1.dll -rwxr-x--x+ 1 Andrew Users 967522 Sep 1 10:16 /bin/cygwin1.dll* $ net start cron The Cygwin cron service is starting. The Cygwin cron service could not be started. The service did not report an error. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534. Didn't help. Wonder why many of the files under /bin were owned by the group Users and others set to the group DeFaria? And what does that "+" at the end of the permmissions string mean? Anyways I did a: $ chmod 755 /bin/* $ chgrp DeFaria /bin/* Didn't help. I did get the following one time: Event Type: Information Event Source: /usr/sbin/cron Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 9/12/2003 Time: 7:52:46 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: STARBASE Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( /usr/sbin/cron ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: /usr/sbin/cron : PID 4036 : (CRON) STAT FAILED (/etc/cron.d). Interesting because I don't have an /etc/cron.d. Creating it fixed my problem! Hmmm... Why didn't the post install create this? I have no idea.
