I downloaded the latest cygwin package yesterday with the whole kit. I also downloaded rsync-2.5.6. I can run rsync as a daemon from the bash shell and it works exactly as expected. However, when i use cygrunsrv to install the service it will start and then shutdown after a few seconds. I have tried various combinations of switches and parameters, the following is the one I believe should have worked and was also tried. $ cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -f "rsync file transfer service" \ -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' I have also tried this variation: $ cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -f "rsync file transfer service" \ -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --server --no-detach' \ -e CYGWIN='bin mode tty ntsec' Many conbinations will fail to install or start at all. The above two will install the service and start it followed by a stop of the service. I have searched the mailing list and not seen this problem. The event viewer says: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( rsyncd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: rsyncd : PID 1488 : `rsyncd' service started. Followed by (1 to 2 seconds later): The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( rsyncd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: rsyncd : PID 1488 : `rsyncd' service stopped. Any helps, hints, etc. will be appreciated. -- 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/
