No one responded to my message, below (on 10/1/2007). I've got a
production system not doing what it is supposed to do until I get this
worked out... and I don't have a clue where to start looking. Did I
provide enough information? Anyone have any ideas how I can get cron to
spawn the interactive application on the current desktop (rather than
one that is not currently being used?)
Thanks =)

I installed cygserver and cron with their included *-config commands. (
Originally as the user WinAdmin. ) I'm running a call processing
application on user "Call Processing". I created a cron entry with
crontab -e, from the cygwin prompt as the user "TC". (logged into Windows
as "TC") The cron entry fires an application meant to interact with
"TC"'s desktop. ( I did cygrunsrv -E cron; added the tick to interact
with the desktop under the cron service's properties; applied changes; and
then cygrunsrv -S cron ) ... the cron entry creates a text file every time
it fires.
So... when the text file is created, the application does not appear to
run. However, when switching users, I find it interacting with "Call
Processing"'s desktop. This is consistent. Three users logged in, "TC's"
cron event fires (creating the text file under TC's path), and the
application is running on "Call Processing"'s desktop.
/var/log/cron.log offers no clues. /usr/bin/cronevents.exe doesn't either.
/var/log/cygserver.log is empty.
Please help. :)
