title: How do you run a crontab in Cygwin on Windows?
body: <p>Some cygwin commands are <code>.exe</code> files, so you can run them with the standard Windows Scheduler, but others don't have an <code>.exe</code> extension so can't be run from DOS (it seems like). </p>
  
  <p>For example I want <code>updatedb</code> to run nightly.</p>
  
  <p>How do I make cron work?</p>
