Re: Running cron as a user other than system

I am trying to run a build script via crontab and am dying

I've tried many things

	cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u SCROOGE2\\builder
	- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > builder

I'm getting this error and can't get past it.

cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.

I have just recently install cygwin as I am moving away from
MKS Toolkit.

SHELL = 'C:/PROGRA~1/MKSTOO~1/mksnt/sh.exe'

TERMCAP = 'C:\PROGRA~1\MKSTOO~1\etc\termcap'

Correct these environment variables. Make sure nothing sees MKS anymore.

Ugh!  Get rid of the old cygwin1.dll and try again.  I'd also recommend
updating to 1.5.21.
