Hi, when porting new daemons to Cygwin, it is necessary to add a Cygwin specific option to prevent fork()ing. Otherwise, running as service via cygrunsrv would not be possible. For daemons which are able to write /var/run/daemon.pid files, this pid can be used to track the daemon. Suggest adding a --pidfile option to cygrunsrv for this purpose: cygrunsrv -I syslogd --pidfile /var/run/syslog.pid -p /usr/sbin/syslogd (Yes, "-a -D" is missing) For a working prototype, try { this->patch->here; } http://franke.dvrdns.org/cygwin/cygrunsrv-pidfile-patch.txt Note that the patch contains a new module with a waitanypid() function. This was necessary (tell me if I missed something) because waitpid() cannot wait for child's childs.
