One of those software is cygwin, I tried to follow the instructions but without success. 1. I can't locate the cygrunsrv: there is no file with this name and there is no command in the bash shell with this name! I have also checked the windows services but I can't find any of the mentioned services: sshd, cron, cygserver, inetd, apache, postgresql, etc 2. I can't delete the cygwin folder because I receive the "Permission Denied" error, although I have marked all the files as not read only and changed the ownership to my account. Can somebody help me out?
