Thread: scheduling tasks under cygwin

Hi,

to a larger way,
what is the best way to schedule tasks such as dump, vacuum, analyze under
cygwin?
as I notice before, under Linux (and generic UNIX systems), you can use
cron to do that, but under cygwin?

Well, I know cygwin has a version of cron, but I don't know how it works
or if it will work on 95/98/Me (because I don't think they have a built in
scheduler right?)
