Re: vacuumdb and pg_dump are not running under cron

Sorry Jason,

I don't know.  How do I know if cron is switching user correctly? How
can I reconfigure /etc/passwd and /etc/group files so cron will work
correctly?  Will mkgroup and mkpass correct this problem?

Sorry, I don't know.  Is your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files set up
correctly?  Is cron really switching users correctly?

BTW, I get the following:

    $ id
    uid=19695(jt) gid=10513(Domain Users)
groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),10513(Domain Users)

    $ cat /tmp/id.txt
    uid=19695(jt) gid=10513(Domain Users)
groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),10513(Domain Users)

Sounds like your Cygwin setup is not correct.
