Ok, through the assistance of others and my own poking around, I have
progressed further. I did have a pre 1.5 version of cygwin... I guess
that I naively assumed performing an update would ensure that I had 1.5.
Here is the current attempt:
JHOUSE@MM112379-2K ~
$ cat /var/log/postmaster.log
cat: /var/log/postmaster.log: No such file or directory
JHOUSE@MM112379-2K ~
$ net start postmaster
The postmaster service is starting.
The postmaster service was started successfully.
JHOUSE@MM112379-2K ~
$ cat /var/log/postmaster.log
IpcSemaphoreInitialize: semctl(id=2, 0, SETVAL, 0) failed: Invalid argument
LOG: startup process (pid 2548) exited with exit code 1
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
JHOUSE@MM112379-2K ~
$ ls /tmp/.s.*
ls: /tmp/.s.*: No such file or directory
JHOUSE@MM112379-2K ~
$ uname
CYGWIN_NT-5.1
JHOUSE@MM112379-2K ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 MM112379-2K 1.5.2(0.90/3/2) 2003-08-08 20:29 i686 unknown
