cron doesnt run jobs (sometimes)!


Hi there list!

1st off .im new to cygwin.

i have built some scripts to do tape backups
basically a find, then a cpio, then tar it to tape.

it runs from the command line.

it doesnt run from crontab, although from event viewer i see that cron ran.

also i put another line in crontab to run ls -l >> /usr/tmp/test every
minute.
this works just fine!.

ive lightly tapped all my scripts with chmod 777 still doesnt work!

btw its a win2k server (dc)


any ideas?

Cheers

Russ
