crontab 没有执行，是 cron 和 crontab 的不同用户的问题吗？

Question

我在 Win7 中使用 cygwin 版本 2.3.1(0.291/5/3) 并且已经尝试了几个小时来运行我的 crontab 计划作业。在我看来，可能是一个问题是我的 cron 进程和我的 crontab 进程有不同的所有者，我不知道如何解决这个问题。

我创建了一个 crontab 任务，它应该在第一分钟创建文件 c:\crontest.txt 并在之后每分钟更新一次。这不会发生！

这是我尝试运行此 crontab 期间的控制台输出：

User@Uva ~ $ cygrunsrv --install cron --path /usr/sbin/cron --args -n

User@Uva ~ $ cygrunsrv --start cron

User@Uva ~ $ ps -al

如上所示 PPID 636 的 cron 服务在 Win7 服务中也显示为 PID 636，Win7 将其视为正在运行。

谁能看到我可能做错了什么或者我可以为您提供哪些其他信息来帮助我完成这项工作？

Answer 1

是的。

经过大量的挖掘和信心的飞跃，我发现了如何让 cron 以与 crontab 相同的用户身份运行。

一旦他们使用同一个用户，我的 crontab 就开始工作了！

基本上我必须运行 cron-config 并正确回答问题。有一点我需要为我的“用户”帐户输入我的 Win7 用户密码。从我所做的阅读来看，这似乎是一个潜在的安全问题，但我是单个家庭网络上唯一的管理员，所以我认为没问题。

这是让我前进的命令序列：

User@Uva ~ $ cron-config
The cron daemon can run as a service or as a job. The latter is not recommended.
Cron is already installed as a service under account LocalSystem.
Do you want to remove or reinstall it? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron service was removed.

Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ] ntsec

You must decide under what account the cron daemon will run.
If you are the only user on this machine, the daemon can run as yourself.
   This gives access to all network drives but only allows you as user.
To run multiple users, cron must change user context without knowing
  the passwords. There are three methods to do that, as explained in
  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1
If all the cron users have executed "passwd -R" (see man passwd),
  which provides access to network drives, or if you are using the
  cyglsa package, then cron should run under the local system account.
Otherwise you need to have or to create a privileged account.
  This script will help you do so.
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) no

Were the passwords of all cron users saved with "passwd -R", or
are you using the cyglsa package ? (yes/no) no

Finding or creating a privileged user.
The following accounts were found: 'cyg_server' .
This script plans to use account cyg_server.
Do you want to use another privileged account name? (yes/no) yes
Enter the other name: User

Reenter: User


Account User already exists. Checking its privileges.
INFO: User is a valid privileged account.
INFO: The cygwin user name for account User is User.

Please enter the password for user 'User':
Reenter:
Running cron_diagnose ...
... no problem found.

Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron daemon is now running.

In case of problem, examine the log file for cron,
/var/log/cron.log, and the Windows event log (using /usr/bin/cronevents)
for information about the problem cron is having.

Examine also any cron.log file in the HOME directory
(or the file specified in MAILTO) and cron related files in /tmp.

If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to cygwin@cygwin.com.
Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output
(the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail.

WARNING: PATH may be set differently under cron than in interactive shells.
         Names such as "find" and "date" may refer to Windows programs.
