You got it. Sure that was the problem.
My crontab holding the line
0-59 * * * * date>>/tmp/file
gives the wanted result. Meanwhile, changing to
0-59 * * * * /cygdrive/mydrive/notepad.exe
I get windows pop-ups saying that
"Initialization of dynamic link library c:\....\comctl32.dll failed. the
process is terminating abnormally."
Are there any special precautions to take when running win32 program from the cygwin cron?
