Crontab will not run on my Cygwin platform.
I am using Cygwin 1.5.5 under Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4.
I want to schedule some bash scripts using crontab. Each script runs
perfectly fine on its own. I created the following crontab from the bash
shell, located at /bin/bash:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.1904 installed on Wed Nov 19 12:32:06 2003)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.7 2003/04/15 15:13:41 corinna Exp $)
33 12 * * * /usr/bin/bsh_ubcfxscript.txt
When the time scheduled arrives, nothing happens. No error messages occur
and the script does not execute.
cygcheck.out is attached
Thank you.
Did you check the Windows Event log?
Igor
