Jason,
Okay, updated my cygwin, but now what? I did a crontab -e and added this line:
* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /home/myuser/blah.txt
saved and quit
and nothing is happening. I've looked at the user manual and faq for cygwin and also searched google and I can't find a damn thing about it. What am I missing?
BTW, does cygwin itself run as some background application (service) in NT?
Thanx.
Roy.

You need to install cron as a service. This is explained in the cron
readme.

Did you forget to read the README again?
$ fgrep cygrunsrv /usr/doc/cygwin/cron.README
cygrunsrv. Install as service like that:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
Or, did you just forgot to start the service?
$ net start cron
