Plus, I'd be very surprised if "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/temp" worked in debian... :-) Seriously, though, what is the error you get from "find"? Is it "FIND: Parameter format not correct"? If so, have you seen <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC42>? Check that the PATH is set in the same way for the cron service as it is in your default bash session (i.e., that "/bin" is in the PATH and that it precedes "/cygdrive/c/WINNT/..."). I'd check the whole environment, just to be sure. A couple of minor points: I suspect "C:\cygwin" is mounted on "/" on your system, so why not use "find /temp" instead? Also, if it's possible that you'd have any files with spaces in them in that directory, you should probably use "-print0" and "xargs -0".
