You have two choices: cygrunsrv -I samhain -d "CYGWIN samhain" -p /usr/local/sbin/samhain -a --fo= reground or see if it creates a .pid file and use cygrunsrv -I samhain -d "CYGWIN samhain" -p /usr/local/sbin/samhain -a -D -x /var/run/samhain.pid where I used "/var/run/samhain.pid" as an example. You'll have to check that all files and directories where the daemon writes= or creates files are usable by user SYSTEM which, unless you change it, is the= user who will be running the service. --=20 Ren=E9 Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
