Please let know if any guide exist for setting up the cron on Cygwin under Windows XP. I really need a primer with examples and a guide on tools editing the cron. My Google search gave me the start, yet I am hoping for some tips on best practices. In addition, I need to configure Cygwin with the cron functionality and the tools for editing cron commands. So far, my research discovered that cron editing tools include lynx, curl, and crontab, which are not currently part of my Cygwin installation. I am hoping for a better guide before running cygwin setup and missing some key dependencies.
You will not miss any package dependencies using 'setup.exe' unless you de-select any dependent packages that 'setup.exe' selects for you when you choose packages you want. As for documentation on setting up Cygwin's 'cron', you'll find that in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README. Use this information exclusively for configuring a working 'cron' on Cygwin if you want support from this list on your installation. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
