Because ipc-daemon, and the cygipc package in general, sucks. (I'm the maintainer, I oughta know). There is a much better foundation for IPC services in the 'cygwin-daemon' code that is part of cygwin. However, it is unfinished, since the primary author dropped out of sight. We desperately need a hero to rescue the cygwin-daemon code and shepherd it to completion. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
