Thanks for the detailed instruction. You are right that I need to install it first. I re run the setup, and added cygrunsrv from admin. Now, it works.

I am using 7.4 under cygwin but on Windows 2000.
It sounds like cygrunsrv was not installed or maybe needs to be updated. I am running .96-1
The following is the NT services Cygwin PostgreSQL installation

Thank you for the information. But I searched both /bin and /usr/bin directories, they are identical and there is no such a file. By the way, are you using postqreSQL 7.4?-----Original Message-----

Subject: [CYGWIN] install ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows servicesI installed postgreSQL7.4 on Windows XP. I rebooted the machine, and could not log into psql any more. I have to go through ./configure, make, make install .... all over again. I guess that I need to install ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows services. I find some instruction from internet as follows:$ ipc-daemon --install-as-service
$ cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D /usr/share/postgresql/data -i" --dep c-daemon -- msig --user postgres --shutdown
$ cygrunsrv -S ipc-daemon # actually this step is optional
$ cygrunsrv -S postmasterI notice that ipc-daemon should be ipc-daemon2 in vs. 7.4. But I cannot find cygrunsrv in path/usr/bin/ directory. Can you tell me whether above scripts are still valid for installing postgreSQL7.4? If they are, what is the equivalent for cygrunsrv? If they are not, what are the scripts for installing ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows services?ThanksMimi
