I'm trying to set up cron jobs in a new cygwin installation. The cron
service is running, but jobs are not executed.
I ran cron_diagnose.sh which says "The SYSTEM user cannot access the
mount point /usr/bin". mount shows:
On cygwin 1.5:
C:~: fgrep -1 'access' /bin/cron_diagnose.sh | fgrep cannot
echo "The SYSTEM user cannot access the mount point ${mnt_point}."
On cygwin 1.7
C:~: fgrep -1 'access' /bin/cron_diagnose.sh | fgrep cannot
So you are using an old version of cron_diagnose.
To debug, start with a crontab that executes a simple
command such as "date >> /tmp/cron.out" every minute.
You can use "cronevents" to view the log.
If you need more help, run "cronbug" and send it as an attachment.
