Re: postmaster does not shutdown

Oh, OK. Shouldn't be too difficult figuring out how to get the service working.
Just curious - what are the future plans for PostgreSQL on Windows? I've seen posts about a native port for 7.4. The cygwin/ipc page also states that ipc-daemon is deprecated and exists only for PG, and that PG will probably use another method (standard cygwin?) in the future.
thanks,
John

It might not be your best option then. ;-)

The "easy-install" version package that's being worked on (and this is
the 1st Alpha release!) is just Cygwin+PostgreSQL 7.3.1 packaged up
using Isso Setup so that it's easy for end users to install.

It's also kind of basic, being targeted to only cater for PostgreSQL,
and doesn't include all of the standard cywin utils.

Don't reckon it's a good idea for you after all, was just hoping to make
things easy to get a complete snapshot of a "known working" installation.

:-)
