Thread: delete postmaster.pid on windows xp home edition before startup postmaster

i install postmaster as service
on windows xp home edition.

some time it fail to start
due to the existing postmaster.pid.

how can i delete the file before start postmaster
that's
start automatically when machine startup.

or the way i think is wrong,
i should do another thing else?

thanks

We have had the same problems/experiense here.
What we have done to solve the problem was to write a simple application
that runs as service - it runs before CygWin Ipc Daemon and checks for
existing .pid file. If it exists - delete it. You should register CygWin
service to be dependent on this new one - and all should works fine.
