It is in NO way related, you aren't running Linux!

I disagree. I believe that Bash /is/ very definitely closely related to Linux.
For example, I believe it would difficult for newbies to interoperate with the
OS solely via EMACS, without a shell like Bash. Therefore, because the shell is
so closely tied to the operating system, and because bash is a commonly used
shell, questions about bash are probably appropriate to a Linux oriented
newsgroup. And who knows more about Cron (or Bash) than the Linux crowd?

Besides, how am I to grow *my* experience with Linux if it's not available to me
at work, without something like Cygwin? I respect your loathing of the OS with
which I am compelled to work everyday but when I try to think out of the box,
why oppose my fledgling attempts at freedom? Don't you want to grow your
audience? Of course you do or you wouldn't put so much effort into "public
education" [the postings in this group], so please consider my plight! :-)

How am I to introduce Linux to the environment where I work, unless I use the
Cygwin baby walker first and can develop evidence to prove my case?

Nevertheless, your point about comp.unix.shell being more appropriate to my
question is well made and I freely acknowledge you've made your point.

Thanks again to /everyone/, Michael Heiming included, for all the gracious input
you've supplied. I value and appreciate it, no matter the impudence I may appear
to display.

Cheers,
