Re: install ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows services

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?

Hi,

My cygrunsrv is in path/bin.

Postmaster I believe has moved as well. On mine it is now under
/usr/local/pgsql/data

I 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 postmaster



I 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?

Thanks

Mimi
