(currently running cygrunsrv V1.34, Mar 18 2008 OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009) However I don't bother because several other (Microsoft) services behave similar, i.e. they are started when Windows is booted and stopped immediately afterwards. This doesn't prevent them from being started again when needed. -- Wilfried Hennings -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
