Re: Can't start cron daemon in Cygwin 1.5.23 under WinXP SP2

Thanks for the suggestions so far. However, after trying all the suggestions, I'm still unable to launch cron. Is there anything further to try before looking for alternatives to cron? >Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 15:05:01 -0500 >From: Steve Rowley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 19:55
