Not answered yet: Do all the files involved--source and object--reside
on the same computer as that performing the build? If not, you may
still have time sync problems.

Cron jobs don't run

I'm trying to set up cron jobs in a new cygwin installation. The cron
service is running, but jobs are not executed.

I ran cron_diagnose.sh which says "The SYSTEM user cannot access the
mount point /usr/bin". mount shows:

$ mount
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

However, cygcheck shows:

C:\cygwin        /          system  binary,auto
C:\cygwin\bin    /usr/bin   system  binary,auto
C:\cygwin\lib    /usr/lib   system  binary,auto
cygdrive prefix  /cygdrive  user    binary,auto

cron_diagnose.sh suggest mount -f -s -b "[DOS path to Cygwin]/bin"
"/usr/bin", but I guess the -s and -b switches are not supported by
mount (the man page doesn't mention them) and mount -f "c:/cygwin/bin"
"/usr/bin" mount: /usr/bin: Operation not permitted.

How do I fix this problem? I have attached cygcheck.out

[patch 0/8] Bash improvements

This is a series of patches that tries to improve the user experience in Cygwin.

It adds three new features:

1. EXECIGNORE

EXECIGNORE is a colon-separated list of glob patterns. If a file
's full patch matches one of these, it is never considered 
executable for completion purposes. EXECIGNORE=*.dll is a good start.

2. completion_strip_exe

completion_strip_exe is a new shell option. When enabled,
bash tries to use the short name of a program instead of
its longer ".-exe"-suffixed one. With this on, pin<tab>
completes to "ping".

3. dg-dwim (C-x C-w)

This is a new readline command that toggles the shell word before
point between Unix and Windows path syntax, with a heuristic to
detect unquoted Windows paths.

Try typing "notepad ~/.profile", then hit C-x C-w

The command line will be changed to 
notepad 'C:\Users\username\conf\dot-profile'

If you hit C-x C-w again, you'll see
