cygwin 1.5.18: cron service issue

["Faisal Moiz" <Faisal(dot)Moiz(at)vgt(dot)net>]

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. 

 

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

 

Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
