RE: cron in cygwin

["Harig, Mark A." <maharig at idirect dot net>]

There once was an obscure problem related to how
the Cygwin packages were installed.  If you selected
install 'Just Me' this problem occurred, but
if you selected install 'All Users', it did not.
The problem was somewhere in the registry settings.

The fact that you have installed Cygwin on 'D:'
instead of the customary 'C:' drive made me think
of this.  Here are some steps you can try:

   1. Re-run 'setup.exe', and select 'All Users'
      if you haven't already.  Run 'setup.exe'
      through to its conclusion, and then attempt
      to run cron.

   2. If that doesn't work, then consider
      uninstalling Cygwin and reinstalling it
      on your D: drive, but being careful to
      select 'All Users'.

   3. If that doesn't work, then consider
      uninstalling Cygwin and reinstalling it
      on your C: drive, again being careful to
      select 'All Users'.
