cron!


Hey all,

I am trying to get cron to work, but I'm not having too much luck. It's
running as LocalSystem, the logs (both in /var/log/crond.log and the Event
Logs) show no errors, only events such as LIST, and yet it doesn't seem to
be working.

In my example, I'm simply trying to touch a file called 'gold' in the
specified directory, but it never shows up. The cript runs fine from the
command line.

$ crontab -l
1,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /cygdrive/u/usr/Core/bin/test.sh

$ cat /cygdrive/u/usr/Core/bin/test.sh
/usr/bin/touch /cygdrive/u/usr/Core/bin/gold

$ ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx+   1 Administ 65535          44 Apr  1 09:29 test.sh

$ ls -l /var/cron/tabs
-rwxrwxrwx+   1 Administ SYSTEM        154 Apr  1 09:42 Administrator

cygcheck is attached.

Any help, guys?

Thanks!
