Re: The service did not respond to the start.. - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

I had a similar problem with the Postgres service itself on Win2k.
Sometimes it would start automatically, and sometimes it would require a
manual start.  This problem was caused because it was trying to start the
postgres service before the network services had started (e.g. the tcpip
service).  I was able to solve this problem by making my postgres service
dependent on the tcpip service and the LanmanWorkstation service, like this

cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-i" --dep
ipc-daemon --dep LanmanWorkstation --dep tcpip --termsig INT --user
administrator --shutdown

Perhaps the ipc-daemon service is having a similar issue on your box.
