Subject: Restart cygrunsrv service on failure

Hi everyone,

I posted this a few days ago with no responses. If anyone out there has
managed to get cygrunsrv to restart using the XP/2000 recovery I would be
really interested - I'm getting desperate! Details of my problem are
below...

cygrunsrv V1.10
Windows XP

I'm having real trouble getting my service to restart on failure, using the
Windows service "Recovery" options. I have set: -

First Failure "Restart the Service"
Second Failure "Restart the Service"
Subsequence Failures "Restart the Service"

I have installed my process like: -

cygrunsrv -I test -p /tmp/test.sh

"test.sh" just goes to sleep for 10 seconds then terminates.

Windows logs in the Event Viewer that the service terminated (gracefully,
error code 0) but doesn't restart it.

I have tried exiting from the script using a non-zero code (I've tried lots
of different ones) but although the non-zero exit code is logged in the
Event Viewer, it still doesn't restart it.

I've also tried the install option "-n" which tells Windows that the service
should never terminate but, although I now get an error in the Event Viewer,
it still doesn't restart it!

The ONLY way I've managed to get Windows to restart the service is to kill
the cygrunsrv process before the child script terminates. Killing the child
script does not work either.

It seems to be related to how the process terminates but I seem to crack it!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I've seen some postings that imply
that people have this working but no examples.

Thanks,
Glen.
