We are trying to run Cron on some our win2k3 servers but without success. If we assigned the domain administrator the right to logon as a service, Cron service doesn't start. The service only start when using the local system account. Even if the service is running, the job doesn't seem to work. Attached you will find the cygchect.out file. Below is the cron_diagnose.sh output.
$ cron_diagnose.sh
cron_diagnose.sh 1.10
The owner and the Administrators need
to have ..x permission to /usr/sbin/sendmail.
Here are the current permissions:
ls: /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory
Please change the user and/or group ownership and
permissions of /usr/sbin/sendmail, and then run this script again.
ssmtp and exim are suitable mailers.
This script did not find any errors in your cron setup.
If you are running cron as yourself,
/usr/sbin/sendmail should point to an executable mailer
If you are still unable to get cron to work, then try
shutting down the cron service, uninstalling it,
reinstalling it, and restarting it.
The following commands will do that:
$ cygrunsrv --stop cron
$ cygrunsrv --remove cron
$ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
(You can also add a -u switch)
$ cygrunsrv --start cron
If the cron service does not start, try deleting the file
/var/run/cron.pid and then repeating the commands above.
Also, examine the log file for cron, /var/log/cron.log, for
information that it might give you about the problem cron is
having.
If none of this fixes the problem, then report your problem
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please include a copy of your crontab,
('crontab -l') and the output of 'cygcheck -srv > cygcheck.txt'.
Please include the generated file 'cygcheck.txt' *as an attachment*,
and NOT in the body of the mail message.
