Re: cron in cygwin
ls -ld /d gives
drwxrwxrwx+ 31 Administ Administ 24576 May 9 19:42 /d/
getfacl /d gives
# file: /d
# owner: Administrators
# group: Administrators
user::---
group::---
mask:rwx
other:rwx
default:other:rwx
changing the script to /tmp/date.log also does not work
only issue I see is that
ls -l /var/cron/tabs/sgoel gives
-rw-r----- 1 sgoel SYSTEM 284 May 9 19:53 /var/cron/tabs/sgoel
I changed its permisson to rwxrwxrwx but as soon as I install a new crontab,
the permission come again

Sanjay
