Hi I have been having similar problems with running cron on through cygwin.
Here is what I have done so far:
1) created a simple shell file <create_new_dir.sh>
#!/bin/sh
echo "test"
mkdir "/home/landon/scripts/HIPPO"
2) ran shell in command prompt and it worked perfectly.
3) created a text file <new>:
*/1 * * * * sh create_dir_new.sh > /home/myusername/logfile
4) tried to run the cron but nothing happend
5) checked the /var/log/cron and here is what it said
unable to set groups for myusername
Any thoughts?
thanks
