Hi,

I am trying to get cron run as a service on windows XP by running the
/usr/bin/cron-config as my self. It sets up the cron service but when
cron runs my bash script it is unable to run any dos commands via "cmd".
I have also tried with full absolute paths in my bash scripts but it
still does not work.=20

=20

Is there anyways to make bash run dos commands via cygwin cron service?

=20

Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
