I installed cron, everything seems fine. This is what I've done so far:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
net start cron
and seems to start fine, it even comes up when i do ps -ef
i modify the crontab file by doing
crontab -e
then I do crontab -l to see if it picks it up and it does and the output is:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.1080 installed on Wed Apr 12 17:08:42 2006)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.7 2003/04/15 15:13:41 corinna Exp $)
* * * * * alavrah ls -al > /cygdrive/h/testingCron
but it doesn't do anything, (alavrah is my username) I tried with and
without username. I DON'T have any error messages at all. I've tried other
commands and nothing happens in the crontab and still nothing, no errors,
nothing. Any help is really really appreciated.
