This is on a Windows Server 2003, 64-bit. I kinda sorta managed to get it working w/ 1.7.11 (Windows Vista, 32bit): 1) rebaseall 2) remove the service entirely: $ cygrunsrv -R cygserver 3) reinstall the server $ cygserver-config 4) manually start the server as Admin (which will fail): That is: $ /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe 5) then, start the server "for real" $ cygrunsrv -S cygserver Repeat 2--5 for each service. Yes, it's magic. No, I have no idea why it worked. I just did this yesterday, so I haven't rebooted since (during which reboot process, each service would be started automatically, without the preceeding dance). Not sure if it will "keep working" then or not. Note, BTW, that I do not have any other problems that would ordinarily indicate the need for rebase and related hoops, on that machine. (The cygcheck issue I reported earlier today was on a completely different system, running a different Windows OS). -- Chuck -- 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
