David Boyd) I started using cygserver and edited its config file to use 310 procs instead of 62. In /etc/cygserver.conf, I edited the following: # kern.srv.process_cache_size: No. of concurrent processes which can be handled # by Cygserver concurrently. # Default: 62, Min: 1, Max: 310, command line option -p, --process-cache kern.srv.process_cache_size 310 I also set the CYGWIN var like this: $ echo $CYGWIN server ntsec I believe I set that variable in the Windows XP environment, that is, System Properties dialog, Advance Tab, Environment Variables button. Let me check ... yes, I did. I don't remember how to set up cygserver to start as a service but the doc was very clear. You, of course, need cygrunsrv to run cygserver. Here's the output of ps -ef: $ ps -ef UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND SYSTEM 1276 1 ? 00:54:28 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv SYSTEM 1380 1276 ? 00:54:29 /usr/sbin/cygserver SYSTEM 632 1 ? 00:54:38 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv SYSTEM 1820 632 ? 00:54:38 /usr/sbin/syslog-ng SYSTEM 180 1 ? 00:54:39 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv SYSTEM 340 180 ? 00:54:39 /usr/sbin/sshd lpc 3608 1 con 09:12:47 /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin lpc 1016 1 con 09:12:52 /usr/bin/xterm lpc 2308 1016 0 09:12:53 /usr/bin/bash lpc 516 1 ? 09:12:58 /usr/bin/ssh-agent lpc 2536 3608 ? 09:14:07 /usr/bin/xterm lpc 2580 2536 1 09:14:08 /usr/bin/ssh lpc 2064 3608 ? 09:55:23 /usr/bin/xterm lpc 3520 2064 2 09:55:23 /usr/bin/bash lpc 2692 1 ? 10:04:22 /usr/bin/gvim lpc 332 3520 2 10:07:49 /usr/bin/ps Hope that helps, -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- 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/
